Our Verdict
When comparing celeriac to zucchini, we picked the celeriac.
Why?
Both have their merits! But…
In terms of macros, the celeriac has nearly 2x the fiber, more than 2x the carbs, and slightly more protein, winning in this category.
In the category of vitamins, celeriac has more of vitamins B1, B3, B5, B7, E, and K, while zucchini has more of vitamins B2, B9, and C, yielding a 6:3 win to celeriac here.
Looking at minerals, celeriac has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while zucchini has a tiny bit more manganese, making this round another compelling win for celeriac.
In other considerations, celeriac also has slightly more polyphenols (most notably quercetin), but it’s a tiny difference. Realistically, we could call this last round a tie.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for celeriac, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
