Our Verdict
When comparing apricots to passion fruit, we picked the passion fruit.
Why?
Both are great! But…
In terms of macros, passion fruit has more than 5x the fiber and 2x the carbs, making it an easy win in this category (it also has more protein and fat, but those numbers/differences are small enough to not really make a meaningful health difference).
In the category of vitamins, apricots have more of vitamins A, B1, B5, E, and K, while passion fruit has more of vitamins B2, B3, B6, B7, B9, and C. A more modest win for passion fruit here!
When it comes to minerals, apricots have more zinc, while passion fruit has more copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium; a clear win for passion fruit.
Looking at phytochemicals, the most relevant factor here is apricots’ lycopene content, so they get a win on this one.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for passion fruit, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
