Our Verdict

When comparing gooseberries to oranges, we picked the gooseberries.

Why?

Both are great! But…

In terms of macros, gooseberries have about 2x the fiber for about the same carbs and (in both cases, negligible) protein, winning in this category.

In the category of vitamins, gooseberries have more of vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, and E, while oranges have more of vitamins B1, B2, B9, and C, yielding a marginal 5:4 win to gooseberries.

Looking at minerals, gooseberries have more copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while oranges have more calcium, thus a compelling 7:1 win for gooseberries here.

Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for gooseberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
