Lemon is an alkaline food.

Whether a food is acidic or alkaline is not determined by the taste of the food. Generally speaking, acidic food refers to food that is rich in non-metallic elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine, which are oxidized in the body to form anionic acidic root substances, which tend to change the body's pH level in favor of acidity.

Alkaline food refers to food containing sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other metal elements, after oxidation in the body, the formation of alkaline oxides with metal elements, these substances will make the body fluids alkaline, called alkaline food.

Lemons are rich in calcium, potassium, magnesium and other metal elements, which are metabolized in the body to form alkaline substances, so lemons are classified as alkaline food.
