Nice, thank you!
Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C?

Vitamin C is heat sensitive but pickling is fine and a good reason why pickled cabbage is popular in places with cold winter. Beyond that, it’s straight up foraging for greens and berries. Plenty of leafy greens allowed enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy.

I fucking love kimchi

Just ate a kimchi grilled cheese, and yesterday had some with fried eggs. It is so delicious. I love sauerkraut too. Cabbage of any sort, cabbage is just an amazing food, good raw, burnt, and everything in between, delicious fermented, just good and ever so versatile.

Kimchi grilled cheese sounds amazing. And yeah cabbage is the best, though it’s really easy to fuck up when cooking it

I had a kimchi Reuben from a local deli a couple weeks ago. Basically a Reuben but with kimchi instead of coleslaw. Was insane.

That sounds so good! Every time I get a Reuben sandwich at a restaurant it has way, way, too much meat for me - I guess they want to make it worth the price but it is unbalanced. I would make this at home though and perhaps will next week, making sourdough tomorrow, and have rye flour.

Sauerkraut!
And lots of other fermented products. Possiblities are endless, chances of success are high.
I was also thinking dried fruit/berries, but I’m not sure how well that preserves vitamin C.

Drying can work to a degree if it’s cold, but it really depends on how you dry it since vitamin c is water soluble. Anything heat dried is out. And modern sauerkraut is pasturized so that’s pretty useless for vitamin C. Finally canned preserves are canned under high heat. These industrial processes are a major reason why scurvy was so hard to treat at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nobody could figure it out because they kept heat treating potential solutions.

Thanks, you make good points. I was thinking about basically room dried berries, not in an oven, not in the sun.
Not where I live!
