Our Verdict

When comparing blackberries to guava, we picked the guava.

Why?

These are both excellent options, but…

In terms of macros, guava has slightly more fiber, carbs, and protein, scoring a marginal first-round win.

In the category of vitamins, blackberries have more of vitamins E and K, while guava has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7. B9, and C, winning the second round by a country mile.

Looking at minerals, blackberries have more calcium, iron, manganese, and zinc, while guava has more copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, for a more modest win this time.

In other considerations, both are excellent for polyphenols, but blackberries have more, and thus win a round finally.

Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for guava, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
