Our Verdict
When comparing pomegranate to strawberries, we picked the pomegranate.
Why?
Both are good, but…
In terms of macros, pomegranate has more fiber, carbs, and protein, making it the winner in this category.
In the category of vitamins, pomegranate has more of vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B7, B9, E, and K, while strawberries have more of vitamins A, B3, and C, giving pomegranates an 8:3 victory here.
Looking at minerals, pomegranate has more copper, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while strawberries have more calcium, iron, and manganese, meaning pomegranates lead 5:3 in this round.
In other considerations, both have plenty of polyphenols, though pomegranate peel specifically has some extra beneficial properties (since the peel is quite tough as-is, it can be steeped for tea, or else dried and ground to a powder for use as a supplement), making this round either a tie or a win for pomegranates, depending on whether or not we count the peel-only benefits.
Either way, adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for pomegranates, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
