Great post!
Loved this mainly because I really need Vitamin C, since my gastroenterologist instructed me that —because of my gastritis— I can’t eat or drink critus fruits. So I’ve been struggling to keep it high but can see I never achieve it with every blood analysis. But it turns out there are a bunch of other foods that can do that! Thank you for the info!!! <3.
