Sour foods: Your tongue tells you which foods are acidic: the ones that taste sour: fruits, especially citrus, coffee, pickles, yogurt.

Don't Bother: There is no evidence that persons who do not already have very serious problems with acid/base balance need any particular ratio of acidic to alkaline foods.
