Our Verdict
When comparing peach to persimmon, we picked the peach.
Why?
All (non-poisonous) fruit is good, but there’s a clear winner here:
In terms of macros, peach has more fiber and protein, while persimmon has more carbs. An easy win for peach.
In the category of vitamins, peaches have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, E, K, and choline, while persimmon has more vitamin C. Another win for peaches!
Looking at minerals, peaches have more copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, while persimmon has more calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. A marginal 5:4 win this time, but another win for peaches nonetheless.
In terms of phytochemicals, peaches have more polyphenols by a long way, plus some specific anticancer properties. Another category that’s a win for peaches.
Adding up the section makes a clear overall win for peaches, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
