Our Top 5 Recipes with Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in protecting the immune system. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which helps combat harmful molecules called free radicals that we are exposed to in different ways. Antioxidants protect us from free radicals, helping to prevent damage to our cells and strengthen our immune system.

When we consider vitamin C, we first think of citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, but vitamin C is found in so many more foods. Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables include bell peppers, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, endive, parsnips and potatoes. Vitamin C is only found in plant foods, so eating more plant foods will ensure your meals and snacks are rich in Vitamin C.
