Our Verdict
When comparing blackberries to pineapple, we picked the blackberries.
Why?
Both are certainly great! But…
In terms of macros, blackberries have nearly 4x the fiber and slightly more protein, while pineapple has slightly more carbs; a clear win for blackberries.
In the category of vitamins, blackberries have more of vitamins A, B3, B5, B7, B9, E, K, and choline, while pineapple has more of vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C; an 8:4 win for blackberries.
Looking at minerals, blackberries have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while pineapple has more manganese; a third win for blackberries.
When it comes to other considerations, blackberries have a lot more polyphenols, while pineapple has bromelain (see below for details); so we’ll call this section a tie.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for blackberries, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
