Our Verdict
When comparing guava to strawberries, we picked the guava.
Why?
A straightforward one today:
In terms of macros, guava has nearly 3x the fiber, approximately 2x the carbs, and more than 2x the protein, making it the all-round more nutrient-dense option in the macros category.
In the category of vitamins, guava has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, while strawberries are not higher in any vitamin. A complete win for guava.
When it comes to minerals, guava has more calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while strawberries have more iron and manganese. Another overwhelming win for guava.
Looking at phytochemicals, both are very good, but guava has more polyphenols in total by far, which is impressive, as not many fruits beat berries for this!
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for guava, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
