Currants-C


Since Tropicana came out with their new, minimal packaging, I started to feel like even more people were drinking orange juice. I have vague memories, from years past, that pastuarized OJ was the only source of Vitamin-C. Probably the result of cunning marketing aimed at us putting all our faith into one cash crop.
Currants-C, a play on words to emphasize the fact that Currants are a great source of Vitamin-C.
Here's a few more:
Parsley
Brocoli
Bell pepper
Strawberry
Citrus of any kind
Papaya
Cauliflower
Kale
Mustard Greens
Brussel Sprouts

Currants, themselves, is the name given to two discinct fruit. 1-Dried Zante Grapes. 2-Fresh berry related to gooseberry, either red or black in color.

So, the next time you might want to give your immune system a boost, and don't want to buy packaged food, you can munch slowly on a couple of brussel sprouts and know that you're fortified. Probably not so good for mixing your mismosa.
