You can just buy Vitamin C tablets, and crush them up. They do have some
inert ingredients in them (mostly starch), but not much, and they work
fine. (You can get the "natural" kind, but the other ingredients in the
cheaper brands are harmless.) I buy a huge bottle at Costco, and each
tablet has 1000 mg of ascorbic acid, I'm not sure how that compares to the
pure stuff from King Arthur. I've had good luck using it, I made a
wonderful loaf crushing up two tablets in a 2 lb recipe.
