News Topical, Digital Desk : Have you ever wondered which one should we choose between lemon, amla or guava for Vitamin-C (Lemon vs Amla vs Guava)? Often people consider lemon to be the best source of Vitamin-C, but this is not completely true! Let's know the surprising answer of nutritionist Rita Jain about this.
Why is Vitamin C important?
Vitamin C is very important for our body. It increases our immunity, keeps the skin healthy , helps in healing wounds and also acts as an antioxidant. Let us tell you, its deficiency can cause many types of health problems.
What does the nutritionist say?
If we talk about the amount of vitamin C per 100 grams, then the figures are as follows:
- Lemon: 53 mg vitamin C
- Guava: 228.3 mg vitamin C
- Amla: 300 mg vitamin C
It is clear from these figures that Amla is the biggest source of Vitamin C, followed by Guava and then Lemon.
So who is the winner- Guava? No!
You must be thinking that when amla has the highest amount of vitamin C , why is amla not the winner? The answer is 'convenience' and ease of consumption in 'quantity'.
Nutritionist Rita Jain says that although amla has the highest amount of vitamin C, it is not easy for everyone to eat 100 grams of amla at once. Amla has an astringent taste and there are very few people who eat it raw. This is the reason why it is often used in the form of juice or pickle.
At the same time, guava can be eaten easily. Its taste is sweet and slightly sour, which is liked by everyone from children to adults. You can easily eat 100 grams or more of guava at a time. In this way, you can get a good amount of vitamin C without any problem.
