Oranges and tangerines are the go-to foods when folks want to amp up their intake of Vitamin C, \u00a0but did you know that this super nutrient is found in a ton of other surprising places? Citrus is awesome, but you’ll be surprised where else this antioxidant hides. The following list will show you how many miligrams of vitamin c are in a 100 gram serving of each food. Make note of the fact that you’ll find more Vitamin C in a Chili pepper than in a strawberry. Interesting, right? There are also some decent sources in the “meat” category too.<\/p>\n
