Our Verdict
When comparing avocado to papaya, we picked the avocado.
Why?
It was quite one-sided today!
In terms of macros, avocados have 4x more fiber, 4x more protein, and 45x more fats (famously healthy ones), while papaya has slightly more carbs. An easy first-round win for avocados!
In the category of vitamins, avocados have more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, E, and K, while papaya has more of vitamins A and C. Another clear win for avocados here.
Looking at minerals, avocados have more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while papayas have more calcium and selenium, meaning this one’s three rounds in a row for avocados.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for avocados, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
