Nature's Treasure Trove: Exploring the Best Sources of Vitamin C in 2024

Vitamin C, a nutrient is more than just a common cold fighter. It’s a powerful antioxidant that may shield our cells from damage, boosts immunity, and also supports collagen production for healthy skin and joints. But getting enough of this wonder vitamin might take time and effort. While consuming a healthy substance might seem like the easiest route, nature offers an array of delicious and…

i watched as nick pulled an array of snacks from a plastic bag, setting them on the table.

today nick, matt, chris, and i were going to be filming a video where we rate snacks from around the world.

once nick set the camera up, he did the intro and explained what we would be doing.

while nick explained where he got the food, i watched Chris pick up a small pink tin, inspecting it.

i slowly began to tune out nick’s voice, focusing on the way chris’s fingers ran across the tin.

he carefully placed the tin down, drumming his fingers along the table.

god, his fingers are so long. they’re perfect-

no! stop! you shouldn’t be thinking about your best friend’s fingers like that !

i quickly look away from his fingers, realizing i was staring.

luckily, he didn’t seem to notice.

as nick continued to explain the concept of the video, i watched as chris began to smile.

i love how excited he is, he’s adorable.

as i smiled at his eagerness, he happened to look at me, catching my gaze as we smiled at each other.

once nick finished explaining, we decided to try the sour candy in the pink tin first.

i watched as chris attempted to take the plastic wrapping around the tin off, but was unsuccessful.

he fumbled with the plastic, and it seemed like he couldn’t keep his hands still. he almost seemed, nervous ?

he turned to me with a bashful smile on his face, “can you open it, please?”

“yeah, i got you” i said as i grabbed it from his hands, removing the plastic wrapping and handing it back to him.

“this one has vitamin c, which one’s that?” he looked at me, expectantly.

“why would i know ?” i asked, furrowing my brows.

“i don’t know, you’re the smart one” he mumbled.

“shut up” i laughed as i shook my head , “you’re smart too” .

we all tried one, and agreed that they weren’t actually sour, despite the tin having the word sour across it in big letters.

“doesn’t it feel like you have to put a lot of effort into getting that grape flavor ?” nick pointed out.

he scrunched his face up, making us all laugh, as chris put his hand on my shoulder, leaning onto me as he laughed.

i love hearing him laugh.

we gave it a rating, and moved onto the next candy.

once we realized they were slide whistles, we all started busting out laughing.

we all started fooling around, laughing at each other’s shenanigans.

chris wrapped his arms around my waist, laughing into my shoulder. the sound of his laugh, made me laugh even harder.

as we continued to try and rank the snacks, chris grew more and more touchy.

not that i’m complaining.

there were many times where i would catch him staring at me and vice versa. he made it so easy to enjoy his presence.

once we finished our last snack and agreed on the final ranking of everything, nick closed out the video and turned off the camera.

i turned to chris. “that was fun” i said trying to fight the shit-eating grin that was forming on my face.

“i agree” he said, returning the smile.

“jesus christ” matt spoke up from behind us, rolling his eyes and walking away.

“what ?” we called out.

A FEW DAYS LATER

nick, chris, and i were hanging out in the living room.

i was scrolling on tik tok, occasionally showing them videos that i found funny.

as i continued to scroll, i came across one video in particular that made my heart begin to race.

the lyrics of The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift filled the room.

what the actual fuck.

and he says, you look beautiful tonight. and i feel perfectly fine. but i miss…

clips of chris and i staring at each other fill the screen.

screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain and it’s 2 am and i’m cursing your name

chris holding onto my waist, hugging me, leaning on me

so in love that you act insane, and that’s the way i loved you

us laughing together, looks of pure joy on our faces.

i glance to my right, seeing chris already staring down at my phone.

fuck. what do i do ? what do i say ?

suddenly, nick yells “oh my god is that the ship edit of you and chris ? that shit’s blowing up !” he said.

“damn, nick. how’d you know ?”

“i reposted it”

“WHAT?” chris and i stared at him like he had five heads.

“well, it was good. and c’mon, doesn’t take a genius to realize y’all like each other” he said, nonchalantly.

“i’m going to the bathroom” he said, walking off.

i’m literally losing my mind. a ship edit ? a TAYLOR ship edit ? we’re never beating the dating allegations.

“well, what do the comments say?” chris asked, his voice shaking the slightest bit.

i glanced over at him, before opening the comments.

them + taylor makes me so happy

“damn. they kinda love us together” i said. i scrolled, expecting to move onto something else.

suddenly, Tattoo by Loreen came on. this edit had clips of chris and i from the recent video and over the years.

it’s like we’re watching a progression of our relationship over the past few years.

every wandering eye, stolen glance, smile that was a little too wide, touch, hug that lasted a little too long, the fans always noticed them.

it was literally right in front of our faces the entire time.

listening to the sound of violins swelling while watching chris and i’s interactions almost made me want to cry.

i turned to chris, who was already staring at me.

he looked down at my lips. “what do the comments say?” he asked.

i turned back to my phone, opening them up.

“they think that we’d be good together” i told him.

“i think i agree with them” he whispered.

“then maybe you should ask me out” i said, my gaze shifting from his eyes to his lips.

our noses touched. “will you go out with me ?”

i smiled, “hell yeah” i whispered before pushing my lips onto his.

Regular reminder that things like calcium and tannins actively interfere with iron absorption when you take supplements (aka don't drink tea or dairy or calcium tablets when you take them), and taking it with vitamin C actively helps iron be absorbed.

There was a TikTok post about an advertisement for “blood-making pills for weak women” someone found in a newspaper from the 1890s and everybody seemed to think it was just an example of the weird misogyny of the day and age but no. Anemia was a massive public health concern. It always has been through history but part of the reason we have this idea of old timey women thought history being physical weak, chronically cold and pale and fainting is because they often they were. Anemia was also a massive problem for men in that day but even now it disproportionally affects people who menstruate. So tonics full of stimulants and “healthful vitamins” were marketed at young women in pages upon pages of advertisements in every newspaper. People generally felt like shit all the time back then.

fruit review #42: passion fruit (3 varieties!)

These are 3 lilikoi (passionfruit) varieties i’ve found out walking around. Yellow, jamaican lilikoi/water lemon, and a mystery variety.

Yellow lilikoi are bigger, more sour, with more juice and a strong vitamin C flavor. They are a great snack but i wouldn’t recommend them on an empty stomach because they are super acidic. The jamaican lilikoi is completely different, the skin is soft and spongy instead of hard, and the flavor is completely sweet. It is way more floral and watery than other varieties. sadly its also a lot smaller, if these were bigger i’d go crazy on them, they are so cool and velvety compared to others. The last one (i think) is a crossbreed between the yellow and purple? it is pink and i’ve never seen a pink lilikoi before lol. the flavor is sweeter than the yellow, but not to the extent a purple would be.

I love lilikoi sm I think they are an under appreciated fruit. pog is one of the best fruit juices and the jam rocks. also lilikoi is the best flavor for cheesecake and mochi toppings imo

[gay-victorian-astronomer]

So I did end up getting yellow kiwis at the store today and I tried biting into it with the skin— ended up actually being okay texture wise! and I tend to be very sensitive to textures in food so that’s saying something. but I did also eat the rest of it with a spoon so ehhh

I do rescind my previous assessment of it being criminal behavior though (for yellow ones only. I maintain that eating green kiwi with the skin is a crime)

Since I just rb a poll about sth normal in a family that others react with horror I feel like I need to bring balance into the world

[balladofthewhitehorse]

I think England probably grew accustomed to having a lat of salted food while on long journeys or while at sea - so it probably brings back a lot of memories associated with that, so he probably avoids saltier foods, although he doesn't hate it. It's just an odd memory association for him these days, and England hates the feelings associated with it, such as sea-sickness (from the boats) or anxiety (from sieges and such-like). He does like tangier foods, like oranges; Mostly because of their association the fact that they're beneficial for a lot of things like *Scurvy* to *Colds*, England enjoys tangier foods and likes to put some orange whenever he does bother having a roast chicken; He also always has a bottle of orange juice in his fridge when he starts getting a cold, and is the first to be like 'Vitamin C?' whenever someone mentions they have a cold; It's slightly more positive for England, even if it's similar memory sort of association as *salt,* he just likes orange flavoured things.

I think ultimately he has a sweet tooth.

Sugar was a rare treat and England rarely treated himself; It wasn't until really Tudor times that he had a lot of sugar, and since then he'd always take a little treat whenever he was out in a war. Usually it had a tendency to be forgotten by England, who would always insist on 'saving it for a rainy day' until he did not eat it at all. Nowadays, he's more relaxed and has a tendency to snack on sweet things like biscuits or chocolate, with an additional baking hobby on-top of it. England also really fucking liked candyfloss when it first came about - damn near rotted his teeth, although in a double-edged sword, England is a rather self-concious man about his teeth. He never smiles showing his teeth and he sometimes goes in long-stretches of trying to purge all sugar from his life, but ultimately he ends up miserable for it.

He hates sour things. Food of the devil. Why is it so stingy? Fuck the Navy for stocking up on lemons.

I just realized the event confirms at least some dragons get scurvy. the ability to develop scurvy is a derived trait stemming from a mutation that stops internal vitamin c production, which didn't harm primates very much because primates already got a steady supply of vitamin c from frugivory. not all dragon breeds would be able to develop scurvy though because there are several obligate carnivores and if, like, faes couldn't make their own vitamin c they would just Die. i just think the Idea of dragon scurvy is crazy. i know it will probably not be completely unexplained because with all the sour kelp we're feeding the fathoms they're probably a-ok with eating plants. Wow i have autism. i wonder which other breeds are scurvy-compatible Wow that is a word combo that's never been uttered before.

tmnt 2003 headcanons: getting sick

Raph:

Gets sick once every 10 years he has an immune system made of steel

But when he does get sick he gets cranky

he becomes a little hater because he's mad his nose is stuffed

and he gets even more cranky when he can't go on a mission because he's sick

Splinter won't let him go and raph will be like this is literally 1984

He gets a warm bowl of soup, a blanket and goes and sulks in the corner and angrily eats his soup

I think his go to sick food would be hot and sour soup

Donnie:

In denial

He will just continue about his life business as usual until he looks like a literal corpse

but when someone finally makes him rest he lays in bed, naps and plays games on an old gameboy

he plays a farming sim or something so he still feels productive

his go to sick snack is orange juice and saltine crackers

Gets sick the most he needs more vitamin c

Mikey:

Drama queen

If Mikey is feeling the slightest bit ill he will make sure everyone knows because he milks it

He acts like a sickly victorian child

"Brother please turn on the tv. I am too weak and I'd like to see one last show before I leave this world."

He'll park himself on the couch with a big blanket and watch movies all day and order pizza

He uses being sick as an opportunity to just hang out and 100% uses it as a way to get out of training

And he'll binge watch the most random things when he's sick he'll lay on the couch for 14 hours and watch the entirety of Gilmore Girls

Leo:

Mikey will act like he's on his deathbed but Leo will actually be on his deathbed

He will lock himself in his room and lay in the dark for a week

Someone will come in his room to bring him some water and cold-medicine and the entire room smells like sweat and despair

He doesn't get casual colds he either gets debilitating flus or nothing

His go to sick food is literally anything he can digest which is like plain toast and nothing else
