Our Verdict
When comparing guava to starfruit, we picked the guava.
Why?
It wasn’t close:
In terms of macros, guava has nearly 2x the fiber, nearly 2x the carbs, and more than 2x the protein, winning easily in this first round.
In the category of vitamins, guava has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, while starfruit is not higher in any vitamins; another easy win for guava.
Looking at minerals, guava has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while starfruit is not higher in any minerals; guava thus sweeps its third round in a row.
Adding up the sections makes for an overwhelming overall win for guava, but by all means still enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
