Best Alkaline Foods Servings
Are you looking for the top 10 most alkaline foods? Well my list is 10 times better. Because my best alkaline foods servings list shows the top 100 most alkaline foods by serving size.
In my previous Most Alkaline Key Foods List, I looked at the best popular foods. That information is derived from the list of key foods prepared by USDA. Unfortunately, we know that popular foods are not necessarily healthy, so I have widened the scope.
My new list of best alkaline foods shows the top 100 alkaline foods in the entire USDA foods list. The biggest drawback of that list is high levels of duplication. I’ve tried to reduce this by omitting:
- Obvious duplicates where foods are listed with and without salt.
- Baby foods
- Highly processed foods
Salt does not affect PRAL estimates. So, I’ve omitted those duplicates. Processed foods are difficult to omit completely. I’ve tried to keep packaged foods that are not overtly unhealthy. However, some may have slipped through, so tell me if you see any unhealthy foods, and I will remove them.
