This is a first for me ... don't know if there is a name. Check with a local psychologist or psychiatrist.
If your friend has scurvy, she can take vitamin C tablets or eat vegetables. Many are high in this vitamin (red and green peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, baked potato, cabbage ...).
how about simply phobic? I don't think this particular phobia has been named, and if she didn't have this one, she's find something else to fear. leave it alone; maybe it'll go away by itself.
I couldn't find a fear of fruit, but the fear of vegetables is Lachanophobia. Since fruits and vegetables are usually in the same food group, you can safely say your friend has that.
