Our Verdict
When comparing mangos to plums, we picked the mangos.
Why?
In terms of macros, mangos have more fiber and carbs for the same (minimal) protein, scoring a first-round win as the “most food per food” option here.
In the category of vitamins, mangos have a lot more of vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B9, B7, B9, C, and E, while plums have a little more vitamin K, so that’s an easy 9:1 win for mangos.
Looking at minerals, mangos have more calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and selenium, while plums have more iron, phosphorus, and zinc, yielding a 6:3 win for mangos here.
In other considerations, plums do have some anticancer properties that aren’t known of mangos (beyond “fruit is generally a good food to eat vs cancer”), so that is a point in their favor.
Still, adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for mangos, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
