Fig vs Kiwi – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing figs to kiwi, we picked the figs.

Why?

It was close!

In terms of macros, they’re approximately equal on fiber, carbs, and protein, so the first category’s a tie.

In the category of vitamins, figs have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B7, while kiwi has more of vitamins B9, C, E, and (appropriately enough) K, yielding a 7:4 win to figs in this round.

Looking at minerals, figs have more calcium, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc, while kiwi has more copper, phosphorus, and potassium, making a 5:3 win for figs here.

In other considerations, figs are higher in polyphenols, and/but kiwi has some anticancer properties beyond what figs can boast, so we’ll call this round a tie.

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