Our Verdict
When comparing celeriac to onion, we picked the celeriac.
Why?
In terms of macros, celeriac has slightly more fiber and protein, while onions have slightly more carbs, so this category is a nominal win for celeriac, but really it’s very close, so can just as easily be called a tie in this first round.
In the category of vitamins, celeriac has more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, C, E, and K (in fact, 100x more vitamin K), while onions have more vitamin B9; an easy win for celeriac in this round.
Looking at minerals, celeriac has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while onions are not higher in any minerals. Another overwhelming win for celeriac here.
Adding up the sections makes for a very clear overall win for celeriac, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
