Outdated vitamin C for jujube

Hello !

According to cronometer, for "Jujube, raw' the vitamin C content is 69 mg, and as source is cited the USDA database.

I checked the source and saw that it was last updated 40 years ago ! On 8/1/1982 (1).

So, I did a small research and saw that vitamin C for jujube ranges from 200 to 820 mg (2, 3), much more than many famous vitamin C foods like citrus, kiwi, pepper etc.

I suggest to update your database.

Best regards
