2. At least 3 nutrients that each of those foods is high in. You will have to research each food on the internet to get this information. For example. If I ate spinach, I would say, "I ate 100 grams of raw spinach. It is high in iron, manganese and Vitamin K".

a) What nutrients were you getting a lot of?

b) List at least 3 nutrients you may not have gotten a lot of. What foods could you have eaten to get each of these?
