Question

Place these foods in order of their vitamin C content, from highest to lowest.

a. ½ cup cooked broccoli
b. 1 medium orange
c. ½ c raw red bell pepper
d. ¾ cup tomato juice

Answer 1

1. Bell Pepper

2. Orange

3. Broccoli

4. Tomato juice

Answer 2

½ c raw red bell pepper (190 mg per cup)

1 medium orange (96 mg per cup)

½ cup cooked broccoli (81 mg per cup, uncooked)

¾ cup tomato juice (44 mg per cup, 33 mg in 3/4 cup)

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if the reference measurements is 1 cup the proportion of vitamin C is maintained when half a cup of the measure is used.

As I do not know the size of the orange I am considering that half an orange is equal to half a cup.

Brococoli is cooked and Vitamin C is vulnerable to the cooking process and breaks down easily. So its vitamin C content will vary depending on how it was cooked and how long it lasted.
