Our Verdict
When comparing guava to orange, we picked the guava.
Why?
Both are great, but it wasn’t close:
In terms of macros, guava has 2x the fiber, more than 2x the protein, and just slightly more carbs, for a tidy first-round win.
In the category of vitamins, guava is higher in vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, while oranges are higher in vitamin B1, yielding a 9:1 win to guavas here.
Looking at minerals, guava has more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while oranges have more calcium, making this round an 8:1 win for guavas.
Adding up the sections makes for a very clear overall win for the guava, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
