An orange can meet the daily requirement of vitamin C. The C and A are the most abundant in fruits. Those that are vitamin A are apricot, melon and peach. Those with more vitamin C are the aforementioned orange, strawberry, kiwi and grapefruit. Also, many vegetables contain vitamin C, but lost in the cooking part. Therefore it is important to eat raw fruits and vegetables, to realize all their nutrients.
