Our Verdict
When comparing cherries to raspberries, we picked the raspberries.
Why?
Both are great! But…
In terms of macros, raspberries have more than 4x the fiber, for similar carbs and similar (minimal) protein, winning this round easily.
In the category of vitamins, cherries have more vitamin A, while raspberries have more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, for another overwhelming win.
Looking at minerals, cherries have (very slightly) more copper and potassium, while raspberries have rather more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, and zinc, winning a third round just as easily as the previous two.
In other considerations, cherries have some special phytochemical benefits of their own (see the “learn more” below), while raspberries have a lot more polyphenols, so we’ll call this round a tie.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for raspberries but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
