Our Verdict
When comparing figs to peach, we picked the figs.
Why?
Both are great, but…
In terms of macros, figs have 2x the fiber, 2x the carbs, and approximately the same (minimal) protein, winning in this category.
In the category of vitamins, figs have more of vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B7, B9, and K, while peaches have more of vitamins A, B3, C, and E, giving figs a 7:4 win here.
Looking at minerals, figs have more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and selenium, while peaches have more phosphorus and zinc, thus, a 6:2 win for figs in this round.
In other considerations, they’re broadly comparable for polyphenols, but peaches have some anticancer properties beyond what figs can boast, so that’s a point in peaches’ favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for figs, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
