It must have been hard to find veggies and fruits at the end of winter in northern countries, especially in the middle ages. What were their sources of protein?

[Tax-chick]

And fish. Legumes are very nutritious and also store well through the winter; this is why “lentils” are called that!

[Salvation]

I forgot about the fish and beans. Thanks.
