Foods high in vitamin C

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body make collagen, a protein found in skin, cartilage and blood vessels. It also helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Foods and drinks leading this list include West Indian cherries, concentrated baby fruit juice drink fortified with vitamin C, raw kantola gourd, concentrated rosehip syrup and raw guava.

The list ranks foods by their vitamin C content per 100g, rather than by a typical serving, so portion sizes matter when comparing them. Concentrated drinks may also need diluting before use, which affects the amount consumed. Full figures are provided in the tables below.
