Our Verdict
When comparing lemons to strawberries, we picked the strawberries.
Why?
Both have their merits!
In terms of macros, the only meaningful difference is that lemons have 50% more fiber, scoring a slender first-round victory.
In the category of vitamins, however, lemons have more of vitamins B1, B5, and B6, while strawberries have more of vitamins B2, B3, B7, B9, C, E, and K, winning by a fair margin in this round.
Looking at minerals next, lemons boast only (slightly) more calcium and iron, while strawberries have more copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, winning another round easily.
In other considerations, strawberries are much higher in polyphenols, as can be expected of most berries, so that’s another point in strawberries’ favor.
Adding up the section makes for a clear overall win for strawberries, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
