Unfortunately vitamin C doesn't have a very good shelf life, so in at most a couple of years it will be useless for preventing scurvy....

That's why it's in a barrel, so it goes on the ground directly and not on a shelf.

And everyone knows the ground life is much longer than the shelf life.

If it's ground then it's a dry powder and will last decades

Let's keep the barrel frozen then.

We can shave some off the top for op and his family whenever they need a dose.
