When it comes to getting enough vitamin C, oranges have reigned supreme as the go-to source.
Most of us get enough vitamin C daily and aren’t at risk for a vitamin C deficiency.
So, it might be surprising to hear that some veggies have even more vitamin C than an orange.

We love kiwi in ourPassion Fruit Smoothie.
Guava
This often-overlooked fruit is deliciously nutritious!
Be sure to eat the rind, as that’s where much of the vitamin C lives.
If you’ve never eaten guava, some say it’s a cross between strawberry and pear in flavor.
We love eating the whole fruit as is or cutting it up and adding it to fruit salad.
With that said, it’s important to note that canned pineapple contains less vitamin C than raw pineapple.
According to theUSDA, a cup of cubed canned pineapple has just 17 mg of vitamin C per cup.
Aside from vitamin C, pineapple also helps build stronger bones and keeps your GI tract moving.
