I remember when oranges where still relatively new in many parts of 
Europe.They were nearly inedible for being so sour. So I would guess that 
people in higher latitudes had other ways of getting vitamin C for thousands 
of years before oranges reached them.
A tea/infusion made from pine needles did it for locals in the Arctic region 
and they saved many an "explorer" from scurvy death with that.
