Our Verdict
When comparing raspberries to starfruit, we picked the raspberries.
Why?
It’s quite a straightforward one today:
In terms of macros, raspberries have more than 2x the fiber, as well as slightly more carbs, and for what it’s worth which isn’t much because the numbers are truly tiny for this one, slightly more protein. In any case, an easy win for raspberries mainly by virtue of the fiber.
In the category of vitamins, raspberries have more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, B9, E, and K, while starfruit has more of vitamins A, B5, and C, yielding an 8:1 win for raspberries in this second round.
Looking at minerals next, raspberries have more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while starfruit has more calcium and selenium, meaning it’s a tidy 7:2 win for raspberries here.
In other considerations, raspberries are much higher in polyphenols, so that’s another point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for raspberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
