I had no idea guava had that much vitamin C! I've been relying on oranges all this time when I could've gotten 4x more from guava. Definitely adding this to my shopping list.
Has anyone actually tried black currants? I'm curious about the taste since they're described as tart. Would love to know before buying them.
I've been eating starfruit for years but never knew about its vitamin C content. The antimicrobial properties are a nice bonus too.
Pretty interesting article but where can we even find Kakadu plums? I've never seen them in any stores near me.
The vitamin C content in these fruits is impressive, but I wish the article included more info about where to buy them or how to incorporate them into our daily diet.
These fruits sound amazing but most seem pretty exotic. I live in a small town and doubt I'll find half of these at my local grocery store.
Just tried guanabana last month on vacation! The taste is incredible, like a mix between strawberry and pineapple. Now knowing it's packed with vitamin C makes me love it even more.
I actually grow kohlrabi in my garden. It's super easy to maintain and now I'm glad to know it's loaded with vitamin C too!
My grandmother used to make black currant jam. Now I understand why she always insisted it would keep us healthy during winter months.
Anyone else surprised that Kohlrabi made it to a fruit list? Last time I checked it was a vegetable!
True about kohlrabi! I noticed that too. While it's packed with vitamin C, it seems out of place in an article about fruits.
I find it fascinating that Kakadu plums have 20 times more vitamin C than oranges. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
Been looking for natural ways to boost my immune system and these options seem perfect. Though I might need to hit up some specialty stores.
That's wild about guava having 10 times more vitamin A than a lemon. I've only had it in juice form, need to try the actual fruit.
Startfruit is actually pretty common in Asian markets if anyone's looking. They're beautiful when sliced and taste great in salads.
I'm kind of skeptical about some of these health claims. Would love to see more scientific research backing them up.
You can find frozen guanabana pulp in many Latin American grocery stores. Makes amazing smoothies!
The fact that these fruits can help with so many health issues is incredible. Nature really provides everything we need.
I agree about wanting more research citations. While I don't doubt the vitamin C content, some of the health claims seem too good to be true.
My local health food store actually carries black currant supplements. Might be worth trying if you can't find the fresh fruit.
