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.
| Plums | Lemons |
| Nutrient | plums | lemons |
| Protein | 2g | 8g |
| Carbohydrate | 53g | 64g |
| Fiber | 6g | 19g |
| Fat | 0g | 2g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 2g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 1g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 0g |
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 | plums | lemons |
| Choline | 2% | 8% |
| Vitamin A | 5% | 1% |
| Vitamin C | 1% | 487% |
| Vitamin E | 3% | 9% |
| Vitamin K | 62% | 0% |
Plums have significantly more Vitamins K than lemons. Lemons have significantly more Vitamins E, C than plums. Plums are a great source of Vitamin K. Lemons are a good source of Thiamin, Pantothenic Acid, Potassium, Calcium. Lemons are a great source of Vitamin B6, Iron. Lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | plums | lemons |
| Vitamin B1 | 4% | 28% |
| Vitamin B2 | 14% | 13% |
| Vitamin B3 | 13% | 6% |
| Vitamin B5 | 7% | 26% |
| Vitamin B6 | 16% | 50% |
| 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 | plums | lemons |
| Sodium | 0% | 1% |
| Potasium | 17% | 27% |
| Calcium | 7% | 36% |
| Magnesium | 10% | 16% |
