Our Verdict
When comparing apricot to guava, we picked the guava.
Why?
Both are great, but…
In terms of macros, guava has nearly 3x the fiber, very slightly more carbs, and nearly 3x the protein, winning this round.
In the category of vitamins, apricot has more of vitamins A, E, and K, while guava has more of vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6, B9, C, and choline, winning another round.
Looking at minerals, apricot has more iron, while guava has more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc, winning its third round in a row.
In other considerations, apricot does have some cancer-fighting biochemical properties beyond what guava is known to have (which latter is just: fruit is general is healthy food that will help fight cancer), so that’s a point in apricot’s favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for guava, but by all means do enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
