First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Apricots | Avocados |
| Nutrient | apricots | avocados |
| Protein | 6g | 3g |
| Carbohydrate | 46g | 11g |
| Fiber | 8g | 8g |
| Fat | 2g | 18g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 1g | 18g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 2g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 3g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | apricots | avocados |
| Choline | 3% | 4% |
| Vitamin A | 64% | 1% |
| Vitamin C | 56% | 17% |
| Vitamin E | 31% | 22% |
| Vitamin K | 17% | 33% |
Apricots have significantly more Vitamins A, E, C than avocados. Avocados have significantly more Vitamins K than apricots. Apricots are a good source of Vitamin E, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Iron. Apricots are a great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C. Avocados are a good source of Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | apricots | avocados |
| Vitamin B1 | 13% | 8% |
| Vitamin B2 | 15% | 15% |
| Vitamin B3 | 21% | 18% |
| Vitamin B5 | 20% | 35% |
| Vitamin B6 | 20% | 29% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | apricots | avocados |
| Sodium | 0% | 1% |
| Potasium | 31% | 17% |
| Calcium | 11% | 3% |
| Magnesium | 12% | 10% |
| Phosphorus | 17% | 11% |
| Iron | 27% | 11% |
| Manganese | 14% | 8% |
| Selenium | 1% | 1% |
| Copper | 33% | 24% |
| Zinc | 9% | 9% |
