Definitely if they aint sugar sweet. I stay away from em unless they are as sugary as dates flavour wise.

I see Duriander. I guess that is whit many more fruits that are unripe. This might be a wild guess, but when they are ripe, so ripe that when u put them in your mouth they melt immediately, at that point they are not acid forming?

Yeah but is this one of those things that is misunderstood because of reductionist thinking? Seems like more of a scare tactic to me. Acid forming how?

I'd been wondering this too.  Really good question Marina :) I read blueberries are acid forming as well - is that true?

I read that too, but berries are generally the highest sources of antioxidants... at far as I know... And cranberries? They are also acidic???
