Our Verdict
When comparing apricots to kiwi, we picked the kiwi.
Why?
Both are great! But…
In terms of macros, kiwi has more fiber and carbs, as well as the better ratio of fiber:carbs, and so wins this round.
In the category of vitamins, apricot has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and B5, while kiwi has more of vitamins B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K. It’s also fun apricots are a really good source of vitamin A (24x more) and kiwis are a really good source of vitamin K (12x more), but when all the vitamins are added up, kiwi has a clear numerical advantage over all, and wins this round.
When it comes to minerals, things are no longer distributed alphabetically, because apricots have more iron and zinc, while kiwis have more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium. Another win for kiwis.
Both of these fruits have abundant polyphenols and specific anticancer properties, so there’s nothing between them here in that regard.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for kiwis, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
