Please see my explanation of the values for this acid-alkaline Cereal Grains and Pasta food chart, and related charts, in my Basic Acid Alkaline Food Chart Introduction.
I’ve started this food diary project with these acid-alkaline foods charts, and I will soon add many more features and benefits. I will provide you with your free, personal online food diary. These charts are basic, but the finished project will be rich with many features that allow you to manage your diet. I have many ideas for turning this basic information into an interactive service to help you plan your diet, but I also want your ideas. Your feedback will help me build this project quickly to provide you with better nutrition management tools. One such recent improvement is my Alkaline Pasta List.
If you have any questions about this information, or have any suggestions for improvements, please add your comments below.

I’ve listed other food group tables on my food chart description page.
Remember: these tables help you make better food choices, but the only way to confirm they are having the desired effect is by measuring the pH (acidity/alkalinity) of your urine. This is a simple process using widely available pH test strips or meters.
I wanted to know what the [-0.17] means? What does the [-] sign mean on the either alkaline or acid column? Thank you so much
All negative values have an alkalizing effect.
Remember, your diet has to contain a good mix of acid and alkaline foods. Around 60% to 70% of calories should come from alkalizing foods. The numbers are only a guide to help you make better food choices. The true test comes from measuring urine pH using a meter or test strips.
I forgot to share that I have been to many sites and your site has the most detailed amount of foods and I want to thank you so much for taking the time to list so many foods, no other sites have all that you list. God bless you for your time in doing this. May God bless your heart
You are very kind, Rose Marie.
There’s much more I want to do, but never find the time. Your kind words encourage me to make that time.
Thank you
I too share Rose Marie’s comments. I have been inflicted with the dreaded “gout”, and your site has the most comprehensive list of food pH levels, after being processed by our bodies, that I’ve found.
Maybe mentioning that at the top of each chart would enlighten some people. Also a mention that the numbers are based on a 100g portion too. Just a suggestion…
Great Info!!,
Mike
