Hi
Is the red part natural English? Any suggestions please?
(At the dining table...)
As she picked the rice on her spoon, a strong feeling overwhelmed her, causing severe nausea. She remembered how her little daughter (now dead) could not pick her food on the spoon.
Thanks,
Tom

No. You can't pick anything on a spoon.

I can't tell what you meant to say, so no suggestions, only guesses.

No. You can use "pick at" which means play with the food, or manipulating it, not interested in eating it.
As she picked at the rice on her plate with her spoon, moving it into a little pile and then flattening it.
