Our Verdict
When comparing banana to peach, we picked the banana.
Why?
In terms of macros, bananas have more fiber, carbs, and protein, making them the more nutrient-dense option in this category.
In the category of vitamins, bananas have more of vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B7, B9, and C, while peaches have more of vitamins A, B3, E, and K. A 7:4 win for bananas here, though peaches are still good too.
Looking at minerals, bananas have more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, while peaches have more calcium and zinc. An easy win for bananas.
In other considerations, both have their merits and both are good for polyphenols, but peaches have some anticancer properties that bananas can’t boast—see link below. So that’s a point in peaches’ favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for bananas, but by all means enjoy either both; diversity is best!
