The Gourmet-O-Matic tm Approximate pH of Foods Substitutions Guide

The Gourmet-O-Matic ^tm pH of Various Foods and Food Products Guide

Most foods are naturally acidic. This means that their pH is less than 7.0.

The lower the pH, the more acidic the food.

If you look below, canned green asparagus has a pH of between 5.2 - 5.32, while canned acidified artichokes have a pH of between 4.30 - 4.60. Canned green asparagus is less acidic than canned acidified artichokes.

In terms of flavor, more acidity means more sourness.

The first chart is organized by increasing pH, i.e., going from more acidic to less acidic.

The second chart is organized alphabetically by food name.

The following is from the USFDA CFSAN:
