The spring and summer often comes with lots of avitaminosis: many feel fatigue, daily drowsiness, and irritability. To keep the body in full force, products with lots of vitamin C will help you. For years, the lemon was considered as champion by ascorbic acid content. But scientists have proved that this fruit does not enter even in the first five.
The blackcurrant is rich in vitamin C content, but it comes after the rose hip, and after them are the mild peppers. Moreover, the crueler the climate in which the current grows, then the fruits contain more vitamin C.
These are the foods that contain more vitamin C than lemons:
| Food | Vitamin C (mg in 100 g) |
Rules of preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Dried fruits rose hip | 1.000 – 1.100 | Do not spill them with boiling water. To preserve the vitamins, 80 degrees is the maximum water temperature. |
| Mild red peppers | 200 – 250 | It’s better to eat fresh. In heat treatment, up to 70% of the useful substances are destroyed. |
| Black currant | 180 – 200 | Frozen berries are still suitable for spring use, because they can be stored for 10-12 months. Defrost them at room temperature and do not expose them to heat treatment. |
