Avocado vs Cherries – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing avocado to cherries, we picked the avocado.

Why?

Both have their merits! But…

In terms of macros, avocados have 4x the fiber, 2x the protein, and famously healthy fats, while cherries have more carbs—so this round’s an easy win for avocado.

In the category of vitamins, avocado has more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, E, and K, while cherries have more vitamin A, so that’s another rather one-sided win for avocados.

Looking at minerals, avocados have more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while cherries have more calcium, chalking up one more win to avocados.

In other considerations, cherries have a bunch of beneficial phytochemicals (you can read about them in the “learn more” section below), so that’s a point in their favor, finally.

Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for avocados, but cherries are great too, so by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
