It's easy to mix up acid and acid forming. Food such as lemons, apples or grapes may have an acid taste, but once they have been consumed and digested, absorbed and metabolized, they turned into a kind of mineral that is said to be "alkaline-forming". Food that is obviously acid before it is consumed, does not mean it will remain acid after being through the digestive system.
On the other hand, when we eat non-acidic food such as meat and seafood, they end up as acid-forming residue after the digestive process has been completed.
In another word, acid-forming food and alkaline-forming food are classified not by how acidic or alkaline they are before being consumed, but by the leftovers they leave in the body after the digestive process is over.
Sample of acid-forming food:
- Alcohol & soft drinks
- Bread & biscuits
- Cakes & sweets
- Microwaved food
- Processed food
- Poultry & eggs
- Rice & pulses
- Seafood & meat
- Sugar & sweetener
Sample of alkaline-forming food:
- Buttermilk & yoghurt
- Fresh and dried fruit
- Fresh and dried herbs
- Fresh peas & beans
- Fresh vegetables
- Seaweed
- Seeds & nuts
- Shoyu (soysauce) & Miso
- Tofu & beancurd
