Guava vs Raspberries – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing guava to raspberries, we picked the raspberries.

Why?

Both have their merits!

In terms of macros, guava has slightly more carbs and protein, while raspberries have slightly more fiber; generally speaking we’d prioritize the fiber if we truly need to call it one way or another, which would give raspberries the win here, but the numbers are very close, so we’re calling this first round a tie.

In the category of vitamins, guava has more of vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, and C, while raspberries have more of vitamins E and K, yielding a 7:2 win for guava in this round.

Looking at minerals, guava has more copper, potassium, and selenium, while raspberries have more calcium, iron, manganese, and zinc, winning this round for raspberries.

In other considerations, raspberries are much higher in polyphenols, so that’s another point in their favor.

Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for raspberries, but guava clearly has its merits too, so by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
