7 Foods With More Vitamin C Than An Orange

Oranges have some pretty good PR behind them -- for years, we've turned to the citrus as our go-to source for vitamin C.

And while that reputation is well-deserved -- one navel orange packs 82.7 milligrams of vitamin C -- there are tons of other colorful fruits and vegetables with just as much -- or even more. (Orange you glad to hear it? We couldn't resist.)

While the long-held belief that vitamin C can ward off the sniffles has been questioned , the nutrient is still vital to our health, helping to repair body tissue and providing antioxidants. The NIH recommends that adult men over age 19 consume 90 milligrams a day, and adult women 75 milligrams a day. (One word of caution before you eat every item on the list at once: the body can't store any more than 2,000 milligrams a day.)

While the classic apples to oranges comparison doesn't quite pan out (oranges would win ), there are some other match-ups that give oranges a real run for their money. Check out our list of other vitamin C-rich food (according to the USDA National Nutritional Database ), then tell us which is your fave.
