Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in our body and because the body does not store vitamin C in its tissues, we need to consume it on a regular basis.
Furthermore, vitamin C helps with wound healing, and consuming foods high in vitamin C increases the amount of non-heme iron we can absorb from plant sources.
Vitamin C also assists in the production of collagen, a protein which is vital for healthy cartilage, skin, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels.
The daily recommendation of vitamin C is different for all age groups (adult women: 75 mg, adult men: 90 mg, children between 9-13 years: 45 mg).
Though severe vitamin C deficiencies are uncommon, many specialists believe that the majority of the population doesn’t get enough of this antioxidant in their diet. Hence, here is a list of 19 plant-based foods high in vitamin C you should add to your regular diet:
