Answer of layla, age 4, breaks out in hives whenever she has eaten too many strawberries or oranges. she will occasionally accept a small serving of applesauce or a few bites of banana but few other fruits. what two nutrients are probably deficient in layla's diet? what other fruits or vegetables can ruby serve to supply these essential vitamins?

Strawberries and oranges are high in Vitamin C (in fact, a cup of strawberries has more Vitamin C than a medium-sized orange) as well as potassium. We can thus infer that Layla is probably deficient in these nutrients. To supplement Layla's intake of Vitamin C, Ruby can serve red and green peppers and kiwi, which (like strawberries) have more Vitamin C than an orange. To supplement Layla's potassium intake, Ruby can serve spinach, broccoli, and cantaloupe.
