Our Verdict
When comparing pomegranate to starfruit, we picked the pomegranate.
Why?
In terms of macros, pomegranate has more fiber, carbs, and protein, winning this first round easily.
In the category of vitamins, pomegranate has more of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B7, B9, E, and K, while starfruit has more of vitamins A, B3, and C, yielding a 7:3 win to pomegranate
Looking at minerals, pomegranate has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while starfruit has only more selenium, making this an easy win for pomegranate.
In other considerations, pomegranate has some additional health benefits, but as you’ll read from the link below, they’re mainly in the peel which most people don’t eat.
Still adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for pomegranate, but do by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
