Our Verdict

When comparing mango to pear, we picked the mango.

Why?

In terms of macros, pear starts out strong with 2x the fiber for similar carbs and near-equally minimal protein, winning in this category.

In the category of vitamins, however, mango has a lot more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, and E, while pears are not higher in any vitamin (although they are equal in vitamin K), meaning a 10:0 win for mango here.

Looking at minerals, mango has more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium, while pears have more iron and zinc, yielding a 7:2 win for mango this time.

Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for mango, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
