Both have their merits!

In the category of vitamins, however, lychees have more of vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, and K, while starfruit has more of vitamins B1 and E, yielding to lychees an 8:2 victory here.
Looking at minerals, it’s even more polarized: lychees have more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, while starfruit has more zinc; an overwhelming 8:1 win for lychees in this round.
