Our Verdict
When comparing guava to lychee, we picked the guava.
Why?
It was quite a one-sided one today:
In terms of macros, guava has more than 4x the fiber and 3x the protein, while lychees have slightly more carbs, so this first round’s an easy win for guava.
In the category of vitamins, guava has considerably more of vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, while lychees have slightly more vitamin B2; another clear win for guava.
Looking at minerals, guava has a lot more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while lychees have a tiny bit more iron; yet another win for guava here.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for guava, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
