Where do we get vitamin C?
In 1990, 93 percent of the vitamin C in the diets of Americans came from fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits and tomatoes contributed almost half of the vitamin C provided by the fruits and vegetables group. Foods that contain small amounts of vitamin C but are not considered good sources can contribute significant amounts of vitamin C to an individual's diet if these foods are eaten often or in large amounts.
Why do we need vitamin C?
Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, is important in forming collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also helps maintain capillaries, bones, and teeth and aids in the absorption of iron.
Do we get enough vitamin C?
According to recent surveys of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average intake of vitamin C by Americans 20 years of age and older was over the RDA for vitamin C. Women tended to consume less than men of the same age. Most nutrition scientists believe that there are no known advantages in consuming excessive amounts of vitamin C.
How to Prepare Foods to Retain Vitamin C
Vitamin C can be lost from foods during preparation, cooking, or storage.
To retain vitamin C:
- Serve fruits and vegetables raw whenever possible.
- Steam, boil, or simmer foods in a minimal amount of water, or microwave them for the shortest time possible.
- Cook potatoes in their skins.
- Refrigerate prepared juices and store them for no more than 2 to 3 days.
- Store cut raw fruits and vegetables in an airtight container and refrigerate--do not soak or store in water. Vitamin C will be dissolved in the water.
