Our Verdict
When comparing cherries to gooseberries, we picked the gooseberries.
Why?
In terms of macros, cherries have slightly more carbs while gooseberries have nearly 3x the fiber, winning this round easily.
In the category of vitamins, cherries have more of vitamins A, B2, B3, and B9, while gooseberries have more of vitamins B1, B5, B6, C, and E, scoring a modestly marginal win here.
Looking at minerals, cherries have more copper, while gooseberries have more calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, for an easy third win.
When it comes to other consideration, cherries have more polyphenols by far, mostly anthocyanins and hydroxycinnamic acids, which are largely responsible for the special health benefits of cherries detailed in the link in the “Learn more” section below.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for gooseberries, but as you can see, cherries absolutely have their merits too, so by all means enjoy either or both!
