Our Verdict
When comparing Brussels sprouts to spirulina, we picked the sprouts.
Why?
Pitting these two well-known superfoods against each other, we get the following:
Looking at the macros first, sprouts have nearly 10x the fiber and slightly more carbs, while spirulina has slightly more protein. So, we call this a win for sprouts.
In terms of vitamins, sprouts have a lot more of vitamins A, B6, B9, C, E, and K, while spirulina has a little more of vitamins B1, B2, and B3. An easy win for sprouts.
In the category of minerals, sprouts have more calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while spirulina has more copper and iron. Another clear win for sprouts!
Adding up the sections makes the winner very clear: Brussels sprouts enjoy a well-earned victory, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
