Most grains are acid-forming, except millet and buckwheat, which are considered to be alkaline. Sprouted seeds and grains become more alkaline in the process of sprouting. All vegetable and fruit juices are highly alkaline. The most alkali-forming juices are: fig juice, green juices of all green vegetables and tops, carrots, beet, celery, pineapple and citrus juices. Vegetable broth is an extremely alkalizing drink.

Note: Because a fruit is "acid" is not an indication that it's reaction is the same when it enters the body, because it reall y may be alkaline. Honey and raw sugar yield alkaline, but on account of high concentrate of sugar, become acid -formers. Rhubarb with raisins is very good.
