Kiwi vs Orange – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing kiwi to orange, we picked the kiwi.

Why?

It’s close! But…

In terms of macros, kiwi has slightly more fiber, carbs, and protein. The differences are small across the board, but by the numbers, it’s a small win for kiwi in this category.

In the category of vitamins, kiwi has more of vitamins B3, B6, C, E, and K, while oranges have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, and B9. Superficially a tie, though it’s worth noting that the margin for vitamin K is very large (kiwi has, appropriately enough, more than 8x the vitamin K), so we’ll say that’s the tiebreaker here.

When it comes to minerals, kiwi has more copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, while oranges have more calcium and selenium. A clear win for kiwi on this one.

Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for kiwi, plus it has some extra phytochemical goodness going on; see the link below! Meanwhile, do still enjoy either or both; diversity is best!
