Is strawberry acidic?

Published in Fruit Acidity 1 min read

Yes, strawberries are considered acidic fruits.

Strawberries have a pH of around 3.5, which places them firmly in the acidic range. A pH of 7 is neutral; values below 7 are acidic, and values above 7 are alkaline (or basic). Because strawberries have a pH significantly lower than 7, they are categorized as an acidic food.

The acidity of strawberries contributes to their tart and tangy flavor. This acidity can also sometimes cause digestive issues in individuals sensitive to acidic foods.
