3. Oranges have 10x more vitamin C than broccoli
Again, another myth spread by those who hate broccoli in the hopes of leading parents to feed their kids a ball of citrus rather than these tasty green veggie snacks. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against oranges or other citrus fruits like lemons.
That said, I do have something against people who would outright lie about the nutritional content of broccoli. One cup of broccoli is enough to give you all the vitamin C that you need for that day. The vitamin C in one orange is equal to that of a cup of broccoli. This being the case, it’s clear that the gap in vitamin C between broccoli and oranges is not something as insane as tenfold.
Bear in mind that I’m referring to the vitamin C content in raw broccoli, not steamed. All this being said, if you still prefer to eat oranges then I hold nothing against you.
