Our Verdict
When comparing apricots to mango, we picked the apricots.
Why?
In terms of macros, apricots have more fiber and protein, while mangos have more carbs. An easy win for apricots.
In the category of vitamins, apricots have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, B7, and E, while mangos have more of vitamins B3, B6, B9, C, K, and choline, making a 6:6 tie in this round.
When it comes to minerals, apricots have more calcium, copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while mangos have more copper and selenium. A clear win for apricots.
Looking at other considerations, apricots have specific anticancer properties that mangos can’t claim, so that’s another point in apricots’ favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for apricots, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
