WHY THE NAME?
During the winter of 1535–1536, Jacques Cartier's crew was struck by scurvy, a disease caused by severe vitamin C deficiency. The St. Lawrence Iroquoians of Stadacona helped the French explorers by introducing them to annedda, a plant-based infusion that helped many sailors recover.
Our lime-based hot sauce, La Scorbut, is a nod to this historical episode and to the valuable knowledge of First Nations.
