Are green peppers considered citrus?
I am putting together a diet plan to reduce acid reflux. I know green peppers are high in vitamin C but are they considered citrus foods? Because if so I cannot have them. Thanks for your helpful responses.
Please do not answer a question with a question.
Scoopster, I need your reference, unless you are a dietitian or nutritionist. Please provide basis for your answer. Thanks.

No, they are not citrus. Lots of fruits and vegetables have high vitamin C besides citrus. You need to look at the acidity of a food - not the vitamin content.
Hope my additional info helps you and I hope you can control your acid reflux!
Source(s): A list of all the citrus fruits from the fruit pages, everything you could want to know about fruit ;) http://www.thefruitpages.com/citrus.shtml This site is about canning, but it contains a useful list of many common fruits and vegetables and their pH levels....lower values would actually be MORE acidic (grapefruit is around 3 and green peppers are around 5.5 so quite a bit less acidic) http://www.pickyourown.org/food_acidity_ph_list.ht... - LindaLv 45 years ago
