Our Verdict

When comparing apricot to avocado, we picked the avocado.

Why?

Both are great, but…

In terms of macros,apricot has slightly more carbs, while avocado has more than 30x the fat (famously healthy fats, including a good ratio of omega-3 and omega-6), and more than 3x the fiber. So, an easy win for avocado here.

In the category of vitamins, apricot has 13x the vitamin A, while avocado has several times more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, E, K, and choline, winning.

Looking at minerals, apricot is not higher in any minerals, while avocado has more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc; another clear win for avocado.

In other matters, apricot has some specific anticancer properties that avocado can’t boast, so apricot does win one point here.

Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for avocado, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
