The pH of food in its original form is not as important as the pH that is formed when it is metabolized. A diet of milk, sweets, meat, coffee and soda can cause an acidic imbalance. Alkaline foods (also called alkaline-forming) are foods that can balance out the acidity of the body. By eating alkaline-forming fruits, the body can return to a balanced pH level.
Citrus Fruits
The pH of citrus fruits is acidic before the fruit is consumed and digested. Once these fruits are broken down, the byproducts they leave will have an alkaline pH. Some citrus fruits that fit this profile are lemons, limes, grapefruit, tangerines and oranges.
Tropical Fruits
There are multiple species of tropical fruit that can help to balance out the acidity caused by an acidic diet. Pineapples, bananas and watermelon are alkaline forming.
Berries
Most berries are alkaline-forming. These berries include blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. The only berry that will lead to higher acidity after being metabolized is the cranberry. While cranberries have multiple health benefits, they will lead to higher acidity in the body.
Other Fruits
There are many other fruits that can be consumed to improve health and balance pH levels. These fruits include currants, grapes, pears, peaches, apricots, tomatoes and cantaloupes. Some others alkaline fruits are avocados, nectarines, cherries and dates.
