You know, sailors used to get scurvy because of C deficiency back a couple centuries ago. Vitamin C degrades really easily, but is there any way you can store it long term other than pills or tablets? I’m just wondering if it would have been possible to do this in the past with the technology that was available.
Yes, that’s an option but it’s not a long life preservation method which is what I’m asking about. It’s just hunting/ gathering fresh food like anywhere else.
Preserved meat like salami has been around for quite a long time. My guess is it’s the same with fruit.
Live animals were embarked. Besides, the liver is a good source vitamin C.
Yeah, that’s fair.
pemmican is very long lived stable meat used on expeditions and retains enough vitamin c.
