Our Verdict
When comparing avocado to blackberries, we picked the avocado.
Why?
Both are great and both have their merits! But there is a clear winner:
In terms of macros, avocado has more fiber, protein, and (famously healthy) fats, while blackberries have slightly more carbs; an easy first-round win for avocado.
In the category of vitamins, avocado has more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, E, and K, while blackberries have more of vitamins A and C; another clear win for avocados.
Looking at minerals, avocado has more copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while blackberries have more calcium, iron, and manganese, yielding to avocado a 5:3 win here.
In other considerations, blackberries are higher in polyphenols, so that’s a point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for avocados, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
