Oranges: Vitamin C per Cup - 96mg (106% DV)
"Oranges are widely recognized as one of the top sources of vitamin C and offer 70-100% of the daily recommended value of vitamin C in one orange. But they provide so much more than just a single vitamin. The whole fruit boasts great benefits that have a positive effect on our well-being", says Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN
The orange is best known for its high vitamin C content. A normal big orange has 86 calories and roughly 98 milligrams of vitamin C, or 163% of the nutrient's recommended intake, according to the USDA. The vitamin C content of a cup of these bite-sized sweets is around 85 milligrams. They're also low in calories and packed with fiber and antioxidants. Oranges are also high in dietary fiber, folate, and antioxidants, according to Largeman-Roth, all of which support general health and wellness. “The nutrients in an orange help support the immune system and offer a preventative approach to overall health”, she adds.
