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.
Raspberries | Bananas |
Nutrient | raspberries | bananas |
Protein | 4g | 2g |
Carbohydrate | 45g | 51g |
Fiber | 24g | 6g |
Fat | 2g | 1g |
Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 1g |
Polyunsat. Fat | 1g | 0g |
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 | raspberries | bananas |
Choline | 8% | 5% |
Vitamin A | 1% | 1% |
Vitamin C | 114% | 26% |
Vitamin E | 15% | 2% |
Vitamin K | 27% | 1% |

Raspberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Bananas are a good source of Vitamin C, Potassium. Bananas are a great source of Vitamin B6.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
Nutrient | raspberries | bananas |
Vitamin B1 | 6% | 7% |
Vitamin B2 | 24% | 15% |

Vitamin B5 | 19% | 15% |
Vitamin B6 | 30% | 75% |
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 | raspberries | bananas |
Sodium | 1% | 0% |
Potasium | 16% | 23% |
Calcium | 23% | 2% |
