Our Verdict
When comparing mango to strawberries, we picked the strawberries.
Why?
Both have their strengths! But…
In terms of macros, mangos have more carbs while strawberries have more fiber, so we’re calling this round a win for strawberries (mango is still perfectly healthy in this regard, though, like any non-poisonous fruit).
In the category of vitamins, mangos have more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, E, K, and choline, while strawberries have more vitamin C. An easy win for mangoes in this round.
When it comes to minerals, mangos have more copper and selenium, while strawberries have more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc. A clear win for strawberries here.
Looking at polyphenols, strawberries have a lot more, and so win this round too.
Adding up the sections makes for an overall win for strawberries, but by all means enjoy either or both; diversity is good!
