Our Verdict
When comparing celeriac to sweetcorn, we picked the corn.
Why?
It’s quite close in each category, but the wins do add up:
In terms of macros, sweetcorn has more fiber, carbs, and protein, winning in this round.
In the category of vitamins, celeriac has more of vitamins B6, C, E, and K, while sweetcorn has more of vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B7, and B9, winning its second round in a row.
Looking at minerals, celeriac has more calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, and selenium, while sweetcorn has more magnesium and zinc, so celeriac wins a round here.
In other considerations, sweetcorn is higher in carotenoids such as lutein, which is another point in its favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for sweetcorn, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
