Vitamin C is required for the health of the skin, immune system and bones. Eating vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruit may decrease the risk of osteoarthritis, cancer, heart disease and hypertension. The vitamin C in Cuties degrades rapidly with exposure to heat, light and air. Maximize the amount of vitamin C you get from Cuties by storing the fruit in a cool, dark location. Use Cuties within three to four days of purchase and consume the fruit as soon as possible after peeling.
Capsicums and parsley are excellent sources of Vitamin C with significant amounts in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, radishes, peas, beans, asparagus. Potatoes, turnips, tomatoes, kumara, spring onions, lettuce and leeks also contain Vitamin C.
