Vitamin C is required for the health of the skin, immune system and bones. Eating vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruit may decrease the risk of osteoarthritis, cancer, heart disease and hypertension. The vitamin C in Cuties degrades rapidly with exposure to heat, light and air. Maximize the amount of vitamin C you get from Cuties by storing the fruit in a cool, dark location. Use Cuties within three to four days of purchase and consume the fruit as soon as possible after peeling.
Although all tomatoes contribute to your vitamin C intake, there are different amounts of vitamin C in different varieties. For example, raw green tomatoes contain 23.4 milligrams, orange tomatoes contain 16 milligrams and yellow tomatoes contain 9 milligrams per 100 grams, which is slightly more than half of a large, 3-inch tomato. Sun-dried tomatoes are much richer in vitamin C, containing 39.2 milligrams per 100 grams.
