Can you believe it? A single orange has about 51 mg of vitamin C compared with a cup of broccoli, which has about 81 mg. Yes, broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange! Broccoli also contains less natural sugar and more vitamin B6. But broccoli and oranges are still both a great source of vitamin C, and both provide a lot of calcium and dietary fiber too.
