Our Verdict
When comparing gooseberries to lemons, we picked the gooseberries.
Why?
Both have their merits, but ultimately, it wasn’t close:
In terms of macros, gooseberries have notably more fiber, for about the same carbs and protein, winning this round.
In the category of vitamins, gooseberries have more of vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, and E, while lemons have more of vitamins B9 and C, yielding a 5:2 win for gooseberries.
Looking at minerals, gooseberries have more copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while lemons have more iron, so that’s a clear 7:1 victory for gooseberries here.
In other considerations, gooseberries have more polyphenols, so that’s another point in their favor.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for gooseberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
