Absolutely right Paul but vitamin C (and a few other things like folate) must come from a plant source since no meat will have enough of it. Nobody can live without vitamin C for very long but just about every plant will have it.

Typically those people living in severe cold depend on vitamins and minerals stored in animals that get their nutrients from the ocean and lands. These people subsist on mostly meat.

Exactly my point really Paul. But there are few onion greens or turnips in Siberia or Alaska in winter. There is always a way or there would be no people at these high latitudes.

Onion greens, turnip and mustard greens, broccoli etc.

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.
