So many of you who have seen my Definitive Acid / Alkaline Food Chart ask me – “…of the alkaline food list – which are the most alkaline foods?” so I wanted to create a full, in-depth analysis blog post of the Seven Most Alkaline Foods!
For each food I’ve given an intro, nutritional content per 1 cup, a number of free alkaline recipes that I’ve created for this blog or the Alkaline Diet Recipe Book and also a handful of research papers that have been published to validate the benefits stated.

I am sure to have mentioned this before, but I love Vegetable curries of all types, as they are healthy, mostly alkalising and very versatile too.
I have only discovered this curry a little while ago, but have already cooked it several times, as it is so easy to prepare and tastes delicious. The broccoli, carrots and peas together with the coconut milk and curry powder give this dish an abundance of flavours.
Apart from the great taste, the broccoli, peas and carrots are also very healthy and alkaline, as between them they contain high levels of Vitamin C, dietary fiber, antioxidants and minerals.

This delicious recipe contains salmon, an oily fish which is rich in the healthy essential fatty acids and which can be included into an alkaline diet.
Broccoli is the other main ingredient, which is a highly alkaline vegetable and rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C and contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties. Salmon has got a high protein, high omega-3 fatty acids and high vitamin D content.
Especially salmon is a healthy type of fish, which can be consumed occassionally when you are following the alkaline diet and is a good choice to bring variety into your healthy and alkaline diet.

It is nice to have an alkaline pasta dish for a change, as this recipe contains spelt pasta, which are fine to be included into an alkaline based diet. The other main ingredients are broccoli and almonds, which are both highly alkaline and tasty too!
This dish is also really easy and quick to prepare, which makes this another great recipe to cook throughout the week when there is limited time to spend in the kitchen.
Spelt is one of the oldest cultivated grains. It is high in fibre, has a higher content of protein and vitamins than wheat and although not gluten free, Spelt can be tolerated by some people with wheat allergies.

This is a delicious and alkaline vegetable curry with an abundance of oriental flavours.
In my weekly organic vegetable box I recently received a romanesco cauliflower for the first time. I was absolutely amazed by the beautiful looks of it, which looks more like a piece of art than a vegetable. I was even more impressed by its flavours, which is somewhere between a cauliflower and broccoli.
The romanesco cauliflower is part of the brassica family and is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, water, folate, vitamin C and several phytochemicals which are beneficial to human health.

This is a delicious and ultra healthy green smoothie recipe from Gareth Edwards, our Dr Young trained blood analyst and highly qualified nutritionist.
In order for nutrients to be digested, the food containing them needs to be “broken down”. Chewing is a vital part of this process. A speedy and efficient alternative to hours at the table is to make nutritious salads “in the blender”. The result is a delicious snack or meal.
Using predominantly green foods means that the smoothie is rich in chlorophyll, minerals, phyto-nutrients and has a low glaecemic load.
