Is there difference in absorption rate between various berries and fruits due to a place where you and your ancestors have lived?
What I meant, is it true that my organism will absorb vitamin C much better from black currant than from lemon or kiwi (because I live in Baltic states and black currants naturally grow here but lemons are imported)?

I think it is unlikely that there would be.
If there was: it would be due to selection effects, instead of adaptation.
