A severe frost has destroyed seventy percent of the current crop of fruits and vegetables in California. Prices of oranges and lemons will be very high this year.
If you're wondering how to get enough vitamin C from alternative foods, here are some ideas.
A typical orange provides 116% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C.
Red bell peppers are still probably even pricier but for less than half the calories, a cup of red peppers provides 291%. And one cup of steamed broccoli provides 205%.
Other foods which provide well over 100% of your daily needs for Vitamin C include a cup of boiled brussel sprouts (161%), a whole papaya (313%) or one cup of cantaloupe cubes at 112%.
For superman vegetables that have very high vitamin C counts but also pack in the highest amounts of other vitamins and minerals check out kale and swiss chard.
WHFoods has a complete list of the best Vitamin C food sources. The photo above is by Carla216.
