Our Verdict
When comparing apples to limes, we picked the limes.
Why?
This one was quite straightforward:
In terms of macros, apples have slightly more carbs while limes have slightly more fiber and protein. The differences are so tiny, however, that while it’s a nominal win for limes, we think it’s fairest to consider this round a tie, for practical purposes.
In the category of vitamins, apples have more of vitamins A, B2, and K, while limes have more of vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E and choline. A clear win for limes.
When it comes to minerals, apples have more manganese, while limes have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc. Another easy win for limes.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for limes, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
