Do fruit have more vitamins if it is more tangy than sweet??

grape fruits are the devils food because it is the most bitter and tangy fruit i have ever tasted but yet it is one of the most healthiest fruit out there.





so im just wondering, if the tang-yer, the better?

Do fruit have more vitamins if it is more tangy than sweet??
it means there is less natural sugar. doesn't mean theres more vitamins though
Reply:I believe the colour is the defining element of the goodness of a fruit, deeper, richer colours are more nourishing.
Reply:No every fruit has its own vitamins , so every fruit is different. Taste has nothing to do with vitamins.
Reply:maybe more of vitamin C





but carrots have more vitamin A (beta-carotene)
Reply:Not exactly, they have different vitamins, not necessarily more.





Vitamin C, otherwise known as citric acid, is what gives many fruits their tangy/sour taste. In fact, concentrated citric acid is commonly used as the main ingredient in sour candies.
Reply:No, it's just the Vitamin C because vitamin c is an acid.
Reply:I've not been told one is better then the others, but they do have different vitamins. So you need to eat a good amount of different colored fruits and veggies. They are now saying for kids to have colorful plates at dinner time and to not use the same fruits and veggies all the time


The colors are green, blue (purple included with blue), yellow, orange, red...ect
