How To Eat More Foods With Vitamin C

Eat citrus fruit, like oranges and grapefruits, and squeeze lemon and lime juice over cooked dishes like chicken. Other fruits high in C include strawberries, kiwi, mango, and cantaloupe.

Make a salad with dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale, which are loaded with C. Top it with a citrus vinaigrette for an added C boost.

Get several daily servings of veggies like tomatoes, broccoli, and cabbage. And choose sweet red, orange, and yellow peppers, which have double the vitamin C of green peppers.

Think outside the box by trying more obscure vegetables like jicama, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, and water chestnuts.

Have a baked potato. At 25 milligrams, it has nearly half the FDA recommended daily allowance of 60 milligrams of vitamin C. And keep the skin on to get the most nutrients.

Look for vitamin C-fortified foods, such as fortified breads, grains, and breakfast cereals.
