Kiwi vs Lime – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing kiwi to lime, we picked the kiwi.

Why?

In terms of macros, kiwi has more protein, more carbs, and more fiber. As with most fruits, the fiber is the number we’re most interested in for health purposes; in this case, kiwi is just slightly ahead of limes on all three of those. So, a modest win for kiwis.

In the category of vitamins, kiwi has more of vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B9, C, E, and K, while lime has a tiny bit more vitamin B5. That’s vitamin B as in, the vitamin that’s in pretty much anything and is practically impossible to be deficient in unless you are literally starving to death. You may be thinking: aren’t limes a famously good source of vitamin C? And yes, yes they are. But kiwis have >3x more. In other big differences, kiwis also have >6x more vitamin E and >67 times more vitamin K. So this round’s a super-easy win for kiwis.

Looking at minerals, kiwi has more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while lime has more iron and selenium. Another clear win for kiwis.

In other considerations, kiwi has some anticancer properties that lime can’t boast, so that’s another point in favor of kiwi.

Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for kiwi, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
