Well I know that Kiwi has a very high count, and of course Orange and Grapefruit. There are a number of veg that have Vitamin C too, any of the non root vegetables, like cucumber and tomatoes.

Yeah, those fruits contain a lot of vitamin C. I hear also that papayas are a great source of vitamin C. And don't forget about chilli peppers. They are hot yet healthy.

Oranges are rich in Vitamin C and so also Papaya. All Citrus based fruits are rich in Vitamin C. Lime, Lemon, Oranges have good content of Vitamin C. Fruits are any day preferable to vitamin tablets.

You are right Curer. I forgot about limes. They are a great source of vitamin C. The acid in a lime stimulates an alkaline reaction in the digestive system, which in turn reduces gastric acidity.
