Vitamin C is crucial for immune support, collagen production, and wound healing. While many fruits are rich in this nutrient, some have little to none. Here’s a look at fruits that aren’t strong sources of vitamin C, but still offer other important health benefits.

1. Avocado
   Avocados are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and potassium, but contain only about 4% of the daily recommended vitamin C intake.

2. Banana
   Rich in potassium and fiber, bananas provide just 10% of the daily vitamin C requirement, making them a poor source of this nutrient.

3. Mango
   While some varieties contain moderate amounts of vitamin C, one medium mango delivers only about 46% of the recommended daily intake.

4. Papaya
   Papayas can provide up to 224% of the daily vitamin C when ripe, but unripe ones may offer as little as 60%.

5. Pineapple
   A cup of pineapple chunks provides about 79% of the daily vitamin C, but this is less than many other vitamin C-rich fruits.

6. Watermelon
   Hydrating and antioxidant-rich, watermelon contains only 12% of the daily vitamin C requirement per cup.
