Orange 1 medium 60 mg of vitamin C
Adequate intake in the US is 90 mg for men and 75 mg for women.
Zinc: The high sorces appear to be animal based.
US RDA 11mg Men, 8 mg Women
Top 5 sources:
1. Oysters, battered and fried, 6 medium = 16.0 mg Zinc
2. Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Breakfast cereal, fortified with 100% of the DV for zinc per serving, 3/4 c serving = 15.0 mg Zinc
3. Beef shank, lean only, cooked 3 oz = 8.9 mg Zinc
4. Beef chuck, arm pot roast, lean only, cooked, 3 oz = 7.4 mg Zinc
5. Beef tenderloin, lean only, cooked, 3 oz 4.8 mg Zinc

One slice of an jalapeno pepper has more Vitamin C than an orange. (42.5 milligrams of Vitamin C in an orange.)
Foods with high levels of Zinc: Herring, Oysters, Turkey, Wheat Germ.
