Our Verdict
When comparing apple to blackberries, we picked the blackberries.
Why?
It wasn’t close today:
In terms of macros, apples have slightly more carbs while blackberries have 2x the fiber, so that’s an easy win for blackberries in this category.
In the category of vitamins, apples have slightly more vitamin B6, while blackberries have considerably more of vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B7, B9, C, E, and K, winning easily again.
Looking at minerals, apples are not higher in any minerals, while blackberries have a lot more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, sweeping a third category.
Lastly, blackberries also have much more abundant polyphenols, so that’s another point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for blackberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
