One of the best sources of vitamin C is .. again "cactus". The Indian medicine plant Aloe Vera is the best for natural C. Be sure to eat the whole leaf and not just the jel inside. Canned AV is NOT a source. It takes the natural green fresh leaf. Wash , cut off spurs and dice a 1/4 cup of AV and you have the equal to a super dose of powdered C. If you can't find any in Alaska, kick me an e-mail and I will send you a plant you can keep in the greenhouse.   Richard
