Our Verdict
When comparing blackberries to mango, we picked the blackberries.
Why?
Both have their merits! But…
In terms of macros, blackberries have nearly 4x the fiber (and for what it’s worth, which isn’t much with the numbers in involved, more protein) while mangos have 50% more carbs. So, an easy win for blackberries with their extra fiber, in particular.
In the category of vitamins, blackberries have more of vitamins B5, E, and K, while mangos have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, and C, winning in this round.
Looking at minerals, blackberries have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc, while mangos have more selenium, yielding a 7:1 win to blackberries here.
In other considerations, blackberries have far more polyphenols, so that’s another point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for blackberries, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
