When you think of vitamin C foods, you probably immediately think of lemons and oranges. Perhaps you also think of red peppers? No wonder: they are considered a classic among foods with a high vitamin C content. But they are by no means the only foods that are rich in vitamin C. When it comes to fruit and vegetables, there are some real insider tips that can easily keep up with citrus fruits and peppers or even outperform them. Here are 5 often overlooked vitamin C foods and a few important facts about this valuable vitamin. <\/p>

Top 5 frequently overlooked vitamin C foods<\/h2>

These foods contain lots of vitamin C:<\/p>

1. black currants<\/h3>

Blackcurrants (also known as cassis or black currants) are sometimes a little more bitter and tart than their red relatives, but are incredibly rich in nutrients. Their vitamin C content is around 170 milligrams per 100 grams<\/strong>, which is significantly higher than that of citrus fruits. <\/p>

Tip: regularly mix a few of the berries into your yogurt or muesli! Or enrich your smoothie with the little black vitamin C bombs! <\/p>

2. wild garlic<\/h3>

In recent years, wild garlic has become many people’s favorite spring herb. The smooth, aromatic leaves not only impress with their soft garlic-like taste, but also with their high vitamin C content: they contain around 150 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams<\/strong>. <\/p>

But be careful: the vitamin is sensitive to heat. Finely chopped over pasta or in a salad, wild garlic therefore contains more vitamin C than when cooked. <\/p>

3. parsley<\/h3>

This popular herb is also a great source of vitamin C. Fresh parsley provides around 160 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams<\/strong>. Sprinkle a few leaves regularly on potatoes, in herb quark, on soups or on bread! <\/p>

4. sea buckthorn juice<\/h3>

If you are looking for good sources of vitamin C, you should definitely not overlook sea buckthorn juice! Sea buckthorn juice contains up to six times more vitamin C than citrus fruits<\/strong>. However, make sure that the juice is processed as gently as possible! Terms such as “cold-pressed” or “not heated” are good indicators. Also choose juices without added sugar, as the addition of sugar often indicates pasteurization or other processing! If the juice is too sour or bitter for you, add some honey water yourself! <\/p>

5. fennel<\/h3>

Fennel is also surprisingly rich in vitamin C: 100 grams of fennel<\/strong> contains around 90 milligrams of vitamin C<\/strong>. However, this only applies if you eat the crunchy vegetable raw. Fennel tastes particularly delicious in combination with orange or apple and walnuts. Beet and feta are also great accompaniments for the mildly aromatic fennel, give it a try! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
