Nice post!, Guava is quite rich in Vitamin C, maybe even more than orange, apart from a number of other vitamins and minerals.
Thanks for your informations. About the oranges, eat always also the withe peals, because it will makes you “digest” the vitamines, otherwise have no meaning to eat a lot of oranges.
very nice informative article..
i did not realize some of these had so much vitamin c…
we are vegetarians in our family..this info is most helpful..

m father planted 3 guava trees and 7 papaya trees on our backyard…

Great list. I have always been a fan of guavas as I can eat lots of them without getting as acidic as I do with oranges.
Thank you for sharing that list to us readers. There are other people who have no idea that the things listed above has Vitamin C which we need to have in order for us to become healthier. Now I know that the orange peels have also Vitamin C.
