When we mention vitamins, the first thing that comes to our mind must be vitamin C. From the multivitamin tablets provided by major health care product manufacturers to the vitamin white tablets that cost a few dollars and a small bottle in small pharmacies, vitamins have saved countless seafarers in the age of sailing. The magical ingredient of life appears in the small medicine cabinets of thousands of households in a simple manner. As we all know, kiwifruit has high vitamin content and is easy to obtain, but at the same time, with the development of the era of great health, imported fruits such as acerola cherries have entered the stage of the new era, and they are also vitamin C. Which of the two to buy? Many people must be confused.
In terms of content, the content of vitamin C in 100 grams of kiwifruit is about 100 mg, which is 4-12 times that of oranges, 30 times that of apples and 60 times that of grapes. The vitamin C content in 100 grams of acerola is about 1800 mg, second only to Kakadu plum and camu, 31 times that of lemon, 27 times that of strawberry, and 18 times that of kiwi fruit. It is a veritable "natural vitamin". One of the "king of C", it also contains vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, iron, calcium and other elements. Therefore, in the same weight of fruit, the vitamin C content of acerola is much higher than that of kiwi.
After talking about the difference, how do you choose better fruits when you buy them every day? The recommended amount of vitamin C in the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents is 100mg/day. From this perspective, kiwifruit is more economical. Of course, eating fruit is not just to supplement vitamin C. The ingredients in different fruits are also different, and the water content is also different. You can buy it according to your own taste and habits. In terms of extracts, whether it is acerola, kiwi or orange, as long as it is vitamin C, you can buy it with confidence. After all, the main difference between them is the nutritional difference of the plant itself, and the vitamins are the same.
