Lemons
When it comes to alkaline foods, lemons are often placed on the top of the list with a pH level of up to 9. This can be a surprise for many people since they often think that most citrus fruits are acidic. In fact, the factor that determines the alkaline or acidic effect on your body is the byproducts created after the food is digested and absorbed by the body. It is true that lemon is acidic before the digestion. Nevertheless, the fruit generates alkaline byproducts once it is metabolized by your body. [5]
