Citrus
(including lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit) is a rich source of vitamin C
that both prevents and cures scurvy. Other fruits commonly available with
higher vitamin C content are blackcurrant, red pepper, guava, kiwifruit,
redcurrant, elderberry, strawberry, melon, passion fruit and mango. Certain
vegetables are also good sources of vitamin C: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
spinach and cabbage contain the highest concentrations.
