Our Verdict
When comparing banana to mango, we picked the banana.
Why?
In terms of macros, banana has more fiber, carbs, and protein, making it the more nutrient-dense option in this regard.
In the category of vitamins, banana has more of vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B7, and choline, while mango has more of vitamins A, B3 B9, C, E, and K; a 6:6 tie here.
When it comes to minerals, banana has more iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while mango has more calcium and copper. A second win for bananas.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for bananas, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
