Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, sweet red peppers, parsley, currants, acerola berries, rose hips, all citrus fruits, strawberries, and even potatoes are good sources of vitamin C. However, the amounts of vitamin C in these foods are not sufficient to treat diseases other than scurvy, the classical vitamin C deficiency disease and the cause of many deaths in previous centuries. To maximize the immune system and antioxidant properties of vitamin C, or treat viral illnesses, supplemental dosages of vitamin C are required in addition to dietary sources.

Fiber Shopping Tip: When looking for fiber-rich fruits, a good rule of thumb is to buy those that have edible skins and seeds, such as apples and strawberries. Dried fruits are also high in fiber because they are dehydrated, and therefore more concentrated. But eat them sparingly if you are watching your weight, because they are also high in calories. Since most vegetables are high in fiber, refer to the antioxidant shopping tip (opposite) to find the vegetables that are good sources of vitamins and minerals.

Certain fruits, such as strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, should not be consumed unless they are certified organic, as the chemicals used in producing them are especially toxic. When buying fruits, select those that look fresh and feel firm. Don't buy produce that's soft or bruised, and don't buy more than you can reasonably use in a few days. Remember, it's a fresh product, not one filled with chemicals, and thus will spoil in a few days. Refrigerate the fruits you buy as quickly as possible. When choosing citrus fruits and pineapples, pick ones that feel heavy for their size.

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, and cooked tomatoes seem to be more protective than raw tomatoes, perhaps because they release more lycopene. Of course, many people are sensitive to tomatoes and will be glad to know that lycopene is also found in watermelons, pink grapefruit, and guavas.
