Ep. 6: Scurvy Eh?

Hello, all you Vitamin-C-rich folks out there! This month we’re taking inspiration from a long-cured disease--scurvy! We’re talking age of sail, sauerkraut, and all things antiscorbutic. All this is inspired by stories of European Arctic exploration, and so we’re also looking at cold-weather survival gear. Food-wise, we’re bravely trying out some homemade sauerkraut (with, spoiler alert, pleasantly surprising results) and talking about its long history. We’re also testing our knowledge of things high in vitamin C. And if you think you know what it takes to avoid the curse of the scurv’ yourself, check out our Facebook page before you listen to try to beat our guesses.
