Our Verdict
When comparing plums to strawberries, we picked the strawberries.
Why?
Both are great! Absolutely top-tier fruits. However, even within the top tier, there are distinctions:
In terms of of macros, plums have more carbs while strawberries have more fiber; we’ll take the extra fiber for the win here.
In the category of vitamins, plums have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, and K, while strawberries have more of vitamins B6, B7, B9, C, E, thus scoring a marginal win for strawberries in this round.
When it comes to minerals, plums have (slightly) more copper, while strawberries have more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. One more win for strawberries.
In other considerations, plums have a higher total mass of polyphenols, and so win this round, although strawberries scored very well too.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for strawberries, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
