The values of vitamin C for the most widely occurring and most generally used wild fruits are: blueberries, 5 to 18 mg.%; chokecherries, 5 to 19 mg.%; high-bush cranberries, 8 to 51 mg.%; pin cherries, 8 to 34 mg.%; raspberries, 14 to 40 mg.%; and saskatoon berries, 5 to 38 mg.%. These afford a considerable source of ascorbic acid.In an addendum there are given the ascorbic acid values in miscellaneous plant materials.
