All fruit juices are alkalizing. But which is best?
The top alkalinity score for fruit juices is twice the average. And much more alkaline than the lowest. So you need to make the right fruit juice choices to match your PRAL alkalinity target.
Note that some juices in this USDA list have added calcium. So be sure to discuss calcium supplementation with your doctor before you start drinking fortified fruit juices. Also see the notes about calcium on the Apple Juice and Citrus Juice lists.

Acid-Alkaline Other Fruit Juice List
I list fruit juices with the lowest PRAL index first. Because these have the highest alkaline load. So the most alkalizing drinks show first. But you can click the food table headings to change sort order.

For the other fruit juice category, the average PRAL values are -2.53 per 100 grams and -5.13 per 100 calories. To put this in context, compare with other nonalcoholic beverages in the Food Category List.
Your Alkaline Other Fruit Juice
Remember, factors such as growing conditions, variety, and preparation methods affect all food nutrients. USDA database values are an average of many samples. So your PRAL values for fruit juice 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.
