10 Foods That Contain Vitamin C

It's not hard to find 10 foods that contain vitamin C. In fact, all fruits and vegetables contain at least some. Some foods on this list rightfully have a reputation for being vitamin C powerhouses, but others may surprise you.

1. Tropical fruits. Guava tops the list of foods that contain vitamin C, half a cup has 188 milligrams. Papaya, mango, pineapple and banana are other good sources.
2. Bell peppers. Both red and green bell peppers are good sources of vitamin C, though the red peppers contain more than twice as much as the green ones.
3. Citrus fruits. You probably already know you should drink your orange juice. Grapefruit, tangerines, lemons and limes are good for you, too.
4. Kiwifruit. One kiwi contains as much vitamin C as an orange.
5. Berries. Cranberry juice packs 90 milligrams of vitamin C into one cup. Strawberries, raspberries, elderberries, loganberries and black currants are other foods that contain vitamin C.
6. Cruciferous vegetables. Your mom knew what she was talking about when she told you to eat your broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts.
7. Leafy greens. Spinach isn't just Popeye's magical source of iron. Try kale, mustard greens, watercress and even plain jane lettuce in your salad with the spinach.
8. Vegetable juices. Vegetable juice cocktail or straight-up tomato juice have the most vitamin C. You could also just eat the tomatoes.
9. Melons. A quarter of a cantaloupe has around 47 milligrams of vitamin C. Honeydew is another good choice.
10. Potatoes. Both baking potatoes and sweet potatoes are good sources of vitamin C.
