Our Verdict
When comparing lemons to raspberries, we picked the raspberries.
Why?
While both have their place, there was a clear winner here:
In terms of macros, raspberries have more than 2x the fiber for approximately equal carbs and equal (minimal) protein, scoring an easy first-round win.
In the category of vitamins, lemons have more of vitamins B1, B6, and of course C, while raspberries have more of vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, E, and K, winning a second round.
Looking at minerals, lemons have more calcium and selenium, while raspberries have more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, winning their third round in a row.
When it comes to other considerations, raspberries also have a much higher polyphenol content, winning a fourth round easily.
Adding up the sections is not difficult arithmetic today; it’s a clear overall win for for raspberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
