This list would not be complete without the most common sources of vitamin C. Citrus fruits provide a high amount of vitamin C with oranges leading the charts. Other citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemons, and limes also have the capacity to help you meet your daily requirements of this vitamin.
A medium orange contains 70 milligrams of vitamin C, whereas half a grapefruit contains 40 milligrams.

Like citrus fruits, tomatoes contain a significant amount of vitamin C. Sun-dried tomatoes have the highest content with roughly 40 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams.
3. Dark Green Vegetables
Vitamin C is abundant in dark green vegetables such as Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
Brussels sprouts contain over 75 milligrams of vitamin C, which is enough to meet your daily requirements. And 81 milligrams of vitamin C are found in one cup of chopped broccoli.
4. Kiwi Fruit
Kiwis are small fruits holding about 132 milligrams of vitamin C, a value that is twice as much as that in oranges.
