Dried fruits are convenient. As alkaline nutrients are preserved making a tasty addition to any alkalizing diet. But the PRAL values for different dried fruits vary widely. So see which fruits add most alkalinity.
Before you use this PRAL Dried Fruits List, you must understand and agree to PRAL Food Lists Principles
Acid-Alkaline Dried Fruits List
I list dried fruits with the lowest PRAL index first. Because these have the lowest acid load. So the most alkalizing fruits show first. But you can click the food table headings to change sort order.

For the dried fruits category, the average PRAL values are -8.40 per 100 grams and -4.11 per 100 calories. To put this in context, compare with other fruits in the Food Category List.
Your Alkaline Dried Fruits
Remember, factors such as growing conditions and variety affect fresh food nutrients. USDA database values are an average of many samples. So your PRAL values for dried fruits will vary from day to day. But they are always an estimate of actual acid load on your kidneys. Which I explain more in the notes about PRAL principles on the category list page.
For 2022 and beyond, I’m introducing new lists to match the way that USDA database foods relate to Dietary Guidelines. So please see Fruits and Fruit Juices. Then use the feedback links at the end of that page to let me know your thoughts on those new food lists.
