LOOKING for a fruit high in vitamin C? Guava may well be your answer.
It has been reported that one large guava (820g) contains 1,221mg of vitamin C. The vitamin C is found in the whole fruit, not just in the skin. Researchers have found comparatively higher levels of vitamin C in the skin than in the flesh and the lowest amount was found in the central pulp of the seeded varieties. Vitamin C content declines if the fruit is overripe.
