Our Verdict
When comparing mango to orange, we picked the mango.
Why?
In terms of macros, it’s close; mango has slightly more carbs, while orange has very slightly more fiber and protein. So, nominally a win for orange in the first round, but as we say, it’s very close, so you could also consider it a tie if you like.
In the category of vitamins, mango has considerably more of vitamins A, B3, B6, B9, E, and K, while orange has more of vitamins B1, B5, and C; a clear 6:3 win for mango.
Looking at minerals, mango has more copper, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc, while orange has more calcium; a 5:1 win for mango here.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for mango, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
