Our Verdict
When comparing bananas to strawberries, we picked the bananas.
Why?
Strawberries have their merits! But…
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 A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B7, while strawberries have more of vitamins C, E, and K, giving bananas a 7:3 win here.
Looking at minerals, bananas have more copper, magnesium, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while strawberries have more calcium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus, yielding bananas a marginal 5:4 victory in this round.
In other considerations, strawberries do have more polyphenols, so that’s a point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for bananas, though, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
