The fruits with acidic nature are generally citrus fruits. The pH level of the fruit is indicated by its color. For instance, the lemon has a pH value of about 2.0, which is considered to be highly acidic. However, there are other fruits that have a pH value lower than 6.0 and can be considered as acidic in nature.
Here are some of the examples of fruits with acidic nature:
Citrus fruits: Lemons, limes and oranges are some examples of citrus fruits with acidic nature. Lemons have a pH level of 2.0; while limes and oranges have a pH level between 2.4-2.9 and 3.5-4.5 respectively.
Berries: Most berries like strawberries, blackberries and blueberries have a pH level between 4-5 which is quite acidic compared to other types of fruits available in the market today.
Mango – 2.2 to 3.8 (average: 3.1)
Papaya – 2.8 to 4.3 (average: 3.4)
Guava – 1.8 to 5 (average: 2.4)
Kiwi fruit – 2 to 5 (average: 3)
Lemon – 2 to 6 (average: 3)

Fruits that doesn’t contain acid
Acidic fruits are fruits that have an acidic nature. They are typically high in sugar and low in fiber. Some examples of acidic fruits include citrus fruits, berries, and apples.
A common misconception is that all fruits are acidic. This is not true! Although most fruits have an acidic nature, there are also some types of fruits that do not contain any acidity at all. These types of fruit include melons and avocados (yes, you read that correctly).
Acids are substances that can be dissolved in water. They have a pH less than 7 on the pH scale.
Acidic fruits are those that contain acid. Some fruits have a more acidic nature while others don’t. Fruits with acidic nature include lemons, limes and citric fruits like oranges, grapefruits, etc.
Fruits on the other hand are sweet and juicy foods produced from plants in the form of berries or stone fruits. The plant parts that produce the seeds for these fruits are technically called flowers but we call them fruits too! There is no rule that says that only sweet things can be called fruits!
Lemons – Lemons are one of the most popular acidic fruits. These yellow-orange colored citrus fruit taste great when added to salads or used as garnishes on various dishes such as pasta salads or grilled fish dishes!
Oranges – Oranges are another popular acidic fruit which comes in different varieties including navel oranges, blood oranges and tangerines! Oranges taste delicious when eaten raw or juiced into a fresh juice drink! They also make great desserts like orange cake or cookies!

Acidic fruits: Ackee , Alphonso mangoes , apples (red) , apricots , aronia berries , Asian pears , avocados , bananas (ripe) , blackberries (raw) , blueberries (raw) , boysenberries (raw) , bramble fruits (e.g. blackberries and raspberries), cherries (red), cranberries, currants and gooseberries, dates, figs, gooseberry, grapes (white or green), guavas, kiwi fruit*, lemon juice, lime juice*, lychees*, mangoes*, melons*
Non-acidic fruits: aloe vera leaf juice*, aloe vera pulp*, apple cider vinegar*, basil leaves*
Fruit juices are generally acidic because they are made from fruit. Some fruit juices may have more of a neutral pH balance due to their processing method (e.g. apple cider vinegar.
Fruits that don’t contain acid
Fruits that don’t contain acid are high in alkalinity and they can help balance the pH levels of your body.
The following fruits do not contain any acid:
Apples
Apricots
Blueberries
Cherries (sour)
Cranberries
Grapes (sweet)
Fruits with their botanical names, but with no acidic content:
Apples (Malus domestica)
Apricots (Prunus armeniaca)
Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.)
Cherries (Sorbus spp.)
Cranberries (Viburnum opulus), cranberry juice concentrate, dried cranberries.
Grapes (Vitis spp.), grape juice concentrate, raisins.
Botanical name: Citrus limon, Citrus medica, Citrus aurantifolia
Common name: Lemon, Lime, Orange
Acidic content: Low to moderate
Acidic ph: 2 to 3
Acidic fruits are those with a pH level below 7.0. Some examples of acidic fruits are lemons, oranges, limes, grapefruits and pineapples. The acidity in these fruits makes them easier to digest, which is why they are often served before meals.
Acidic fruits can be eaten alone or used to flavor other foods. They also have many health benefits. If you are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, acidic fruits can help you eat fewer calories without feeling hungry because they fill you up more quickly than other foods do.
The acidity of a fruit is expressed by its pH value, which is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.
Acidity depends on the amount of acid present, not on the number of hydrogen ions. For example, many fruits contain citric acid; however, an equal volume of lemon juice has a higher pH than an equal volume of grapefruit juice because there are more H+ ions in grapefruit juice than lemon juice.
In general, most fruits are acidic with a pH below 7.0. Some examples include citrus fruits like lemons and limes as well as tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples. Fruits can also be classified based on their acidity: low-acid fruits have pH values greater than 4.6; medium-acid fruits have pH values between 4.6 and 4.9; and high-acid fruits have pH values below 4.6.
