Our Verdict
When comparing starfruit to lemon, we picked the starfruit.
Why?
It’s close!
In terms of macros, there’s really nothing between them. Nominally, starfruit has very slightly more carbs, but it’s 2.5g/100g difference, and they’re equal on protein and fiber, so we’re calling this round a tie.
In the category of vitamins, starfruit has more of vitamins A, B3, B5, K, and choline, while lemons have more of vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C, meaning a marginal 5:4 win for starfruit.
Looking at minerals, starfruit has more copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, while lemons have more calcium, iron, and phosphorus, meaning a 5:3 win for starfruit this time.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for starfruit, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
