Our Verdict

When comparing asparagus to cabbage, we picked the asparagus.

Why?

In terms of macros, these are the same, or rather, close enough that the margin of variation is mostly overlapping. So, a tie in this category.

In the category of vitamins, asparagus has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B4, B5, B9, E, and choline, while cabbage has more of vitamins B6, C, and K. Therefore, a clear win for asparagus here.

When it comes to minerals, asparagus has more copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while cabbage has more calcium. Another win for asparagus!

Looking at polyphenols, asparagus has more, mostly quercetin. One more win for asparagus.

Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for asparagus, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
