   Camu Camu is very high in vitamin C. It has the highest recorded concentration of vitamin c. It is an amazing fruit found in the amazon rainforest. I have never found the fresh fruit but I take the powder in my smoothies. It's delicious.

    I don´t believe that additional Vitamin C can really help, because we ingest enough with our daily food.
    
    There are 2 foods I can´t find in the above answers. With my long-term experiences I can strongly recommend
    
    unpeeled raw Ginger, yellow
    
    seabuckthorn, juice or sirup (includes very much Vitamin C too)
    
    They both are really "magic cures" you will benefit from every day.

    Limes - British sailors were issued limes each day to ward off scurvy (caused by Vit C deficiency) on long sea voyages - hence we British have the nickname "Limeys".

    Vitamin C is water-soluble which means that the body is unable to store it. Therefore, vitamin C must be taken on a daily basis. There are many different types of vegetables and fruits that contain a lot of vitamin C, but be careful how you prepare them as vitamin C can be lost in the liquids in which they are cooked.
    
    Below is a list of foods which are high in vitamin C.

    What is Vitamin C?
    
    Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, is an essential anti-oxidant and is necessary for the production of collagen, connective tissue found in skin, bone, ligaments and blood vessels. It performs a variety of other enzymatic and metabolic functions, such as:
    
    maintaining and repairing body tissue
    strengthening blood vessels
    aiding the absorption of calcium, essential for healthy bones and teeth
    helping the body to resist infections
    lowering levels of blood cholesterol
    aiding the absorption of iron from food, thus preventing anaemia
    protecting cells from free radicals that can damage cell membrane and DNA
    How Much Vitamin C Do I Need?
    
    The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C is subject to ongoing debate. In the US, it currently stands at 60mg per day. Vitamin C deficiency is characterized by:
    
    easy bruising
    swollen and bleeding gums
    wounds that have trouble healing
    Smokers are at a risk for vitamin C deficiency and require more of a daily intake than non-smokers.
    
    Too much Vitamin C intake on a regular basis will cause the following problems:
    
    diarrhoea
    kidney stones
    Daily excesses are excreted as waste and the body will require more supplementation the following day.

    Broccoli, red bell peppers (significantly more than green bell peppers), tomatoes, citrus fruits, and the likes are rich in Vitamin C.  Being allergic to many types of citrus, I had to look into alternatives, and found broccoli and bell peppers were helpful to my immune system.  Also, try boosting your spinach intake.  I like adding spinach to my salads and sandwiches.  It's healthier for you, and you barely notice the difference.

    Fruits of the family citriceae (lime family) have a very high content of vitamin C (e.g. - oranges, lime, lemon, grape-fruit). Usually any fresh fruit with a sour taste has some amount of vitamin C.
    However, it is important for the fruit to be fresh as vitamin C is heat labile (destroyed by heat). Therefore, using hot water to prepare fruit juices and eating aftre heating or cooking does not give the expected amount of vitamin C.
    Also, vitamin C is water soluble. So, if the fruit is washed after cutting, the vitamin is washed away.

    Look for rich reds and orange colours, like mentioned in many other replies (red peppers, citrus fruits, etc.).  Overall, foods rich in nutrients are deep in colour.
