Dear HIW,

Which type of fruit juice has the most vitamin C in it? And what other vitamins are in high concentrat­ions in fruit juice?

Amber Scarff

Orange juice and other citrus juices top the list when it comes to vitamin C content. But vegetable juice shouldn’t be overlooked. Other juices high in vitamin C include green juices made with cabbage, broccoli and kiwi. In terms of other vitamins, each fruit juice will vary in concentrat­ions of specific vitamins. As well as being a leading vitamin C source, one 240-millilitre glass of orange juice contains four per cent of your recommende­d daily intake (RDI) of vitamin A, 18 per cent of thiamine and seven per cent of vitamin B6.
