Our Verdict
When comparing peaches to strawberries, we picked the strawberries.
Why?
In terms of macros, peaches have more carbs while strawberries have more fiber. The differences aren’t huge, but are at least compelling enough to call this round a nominal win for strawberries.
In the category of vitamins, peaches have more of vitamins A, B2, B3, and E, while strawberries have more of vitamins B6, B9, and C, making this round a marginal 4:3 win for peaches.
When it comes to minerals, peaches have more copper, potassium, and zinc, while strawberries have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and selenium. A clear win for strawberries.
Looking at other properties, it’s worth noting that peaches have some anticancer properties that strawberries don’t (so far as we know), while strawberries have rather more polyphenols in general. We’re calling this round a tie.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for strawberries, but it was very close, so by all means enjoy either or both!
