- Why
- Vitamin C supports immunity, builds collagen, and helps you absorb iron. Ranked per 100 kcal instead of per 100 g, the list stops favouring foods you eat by the spoonful and shows what gives you the most vitamin C for the calories it costs.
- Tip
- Peppers beat citrus by a wide margin per calorie, with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale close behind.
