Blueberries vs Grapes – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing blueberries to grapes, we picked the blueberries.

Why?

Both have the merits, but there was a clear winner:

In terms of macros, blueberries have more than 2x the fiber, while grapes have slightly more carbs; an easy first-round win for blueberries.

In the category of vitamins, blueberries have more of vitamins B3, B5, B7, B9, C, E, and K, while grapes have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, and B6, yielding a 7:4 win to blueberries.

Looking at minerals next, blueberries have more copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, while grapes have more calcium, manganese, and potassium, giving blueberries a marginal 4:3 win in this round.

In other considerations, both are great for polyphenols, but blueberries have considerably more, so that’s another point in their favor.

Adding up the sections makes for a very clear overall win for blueberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!

If you’re not a mouse, you might even need more than that!
