While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Spinach is a vegetable that contains ascorbic acid, an essential nutrient for humans.
  • There is 30 milligrams (mg) of ascorbic acid in every 100 grams (g) of spinach.
  • Cauliflower is a vegetable that contains ascorbic acid.
  • There is 48 mg of ascorbic acid in every 100 g of cauliflower.
