Our Verdict
When comparing apple to gooseberries, we picked the apple.
Why?
These two fruits are popular contenders for losing most head-to-head contests on here, but…
In terms of macros, gooseberries have more than 2x the fiber, scoring them a first-round win.
When it comes to vitamins, apples are not higher in any vitamins, while gooseberries are higher in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, sweeping this category.
Looking at minerals, apples are not higher in any minerals, while gooseberries have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, winning overwhelmingly again.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for gooseberries, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
