Kiwis
A medium kiwi contains 56 mg of vitamin C or 62% of the daily value. Kiwis are known for their ability to support the immune system and may reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke due to their inhibitory effect on blood platelets. A review in 2022 suggested that vitamin C could help protect against COVID-19 and pneumonia by boosting the immune system through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. [9]
Broccoli
Broccoli is another cruciferous vegetable, with a half-cup of cooked broccoli providing 51 mg of vitamin C. This represents 57% of the daily value. Consuming broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables rich in vitamin C may help decrease cancer risk. Broccoli is also high in fiber, supporting digestive health and overall well-being.
