While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Kale is a vegetable that contains ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for humans.
• Blueberries are fruits that contain ascorbic acid.
• There is 120 milligrams (mg) of ascorbic acid per every 100 grams (g) of kale.
• There is 10 mg of ascorbic acid per every 100g of blueberries.
• Humans cannot make ascorbic acid in their bodies, so they must get it from foods, including fruits and vegetables.
• Ascorbic acid is also known as vitamin C.
