1 Which of the following foods contains the highest amounts of vitamin C by weight?

• Acerola cherry
• Lemon
• Kiwi
• Camu camu

  Camu camu appears to be the most vitamin C-packed fruit known, with 1,882 to 2,280 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of fresh fruit. Acerola cherries are what I personally grow and come in a close second around 1,680mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. Kiwi, another fruit noted for its vitamin C content contains less than 93 mg per 100 grams, and both lemons and oranges contain just 53 mg per 100 grams. Learn more.
