Our Verdict
When comparing gooseberries to limes, we picked the gooseberries.
Why?
It wasn’t close:
In terms of macros, gooseberries have nearly 2x the fiber for the same carbs and protein, scoring an easy first-round win.
In the category of vitamins, gooseberries have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, and E, while limes have more vitamin B9. They’re equal in other vitamins they both contain, including vitamin C. So this one’s a win for gooseberries too.
Looking at minerals, gooseberries have more copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while limes have more calcium and iron, meaning another rather one-sided win for gooseberries.
In other considerations, gooseberries also 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 enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
