Our Verdict
When comparing figs to strawberries, we picked the figs.
Why?
Both are great! But…
In terms of macros, figs have more fiber, carbs, and protein, winning this round.
In the category of vitamins, figs have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and K, while strawberries have more of vitamins B9, C, E, and choline. A 7:4 win for figs.
Looking at minerals, figs have more calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, while strawberries have more iron, manganese, phosphorus, and selenium, making a marginal 5:4 win for figs this time.
In other considerations, strawberries have a much higher polyphenol content, so that’s a point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for figs, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
