pomegranate is peatiest fruit
-
I have peach, apricot and apple trees on my property. I also have a lot of grapes. So I eat a lot of those when they are sun ripened. I love to make sun jam from my apricots, it's delicious and I eat it with my home made sourdough bread.
This year I have a lot of watermelons too. So I am eating tons of that too. I don't keep it. Whatever I have too many of I give away.In winter I don't eat a lot of fruit when it's not in season. I do press store bought oranges for juice. Personally I would try to eat as much fruit in season as possible.

@Jennifer, this kind of reasoning is not applicable to most foods. For example, apple juice tastes great but causes arsenic toxicity when consumed often.
It is applicable to most foods. the food that taste and make you feel the best, is the best food.

@user2 I only agree if they make you feel great long term.
But grasping that concept as humans, who only have direct comparison of the present to memories we have of the past, I must say it is hard to find something which can 100% make you feel good long term. And for that reason, one must research foods comprehensively.
A lot of foods make you feel good for a couple of hours and then make you crash after a while

Then they aren’t good for you in your current state, and that’s not something you will discover from researching it. It must be experienced, for ourselves. I’ve learned the hard way that what looks good on paper can be disastrous in practice. The point of my original post is that just because a food’s nutritional profile looks ideal from a peaty standpoint doesn’t mean it’s the peatiest if we don’t actually enjoy it, and this is coming from Ray himself.

@Jennifer hey Jennifer. Would "unfiltered apple juice" be an indicator that no clarifying agents are used?
-
@LetTheRedeemed, not sure if you found some apple cider, but I was at Whole Foods yesterday and they carry a cold-pressed apple juice by the brand Evolution Fresh that is 100% apples, nothing else added, and I think it’s sold nationwide. They have a limited edition cider with cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s not as sweet as the Brookdale and Carlson ciders, but I added some honey to it and it was quite tasty heated up.

Fine but limit the amount or the frequency. Rather at the breakfast.
Apple is rich in fructose (processed by liver). Not to be transformed into fat in adipocytes. As well for honey. Not a problem if you balance with glucose and potassium. Potassium for metabolizing metabolites / to have them leave the body (+ water and pee easier ) (salicylates).
I'm sure you do it, but they are other readers ...
Personally, I target 50/50 glucose / fructose.
When I eat a pear, I often eat it at breakfast + another fruit. We are the land of peers, here in Belgium. Then I add a protein source (with fat) and a tsp coconut oil if I haven't got SFA enough.
Need a extra dose of glycine too to manage salicylates if you do that several times on the day. Or add a dose of potassium bicarbonate to avoid a drawback (target 7.5 pH). -
Hi @Aniciete, typically, yes. If it says unfiltered and the juice is cloudy with pulp, clarifying agents most likely weren’t used. It’s with clear juices, even those with some sediment at the bottom, that clarifying agents have likely been used.

Thank you for the tips, @LucH.

Ah, I never really understood why that part is French speaking, as it's very close to the Netherlands, but I guess I don't know enough about the history and geography (as far as I know the border between Wallonie and Vlaanderen isn't far away). I was once in Maastricht and made a little trip the Liège, and when I started talking Dutch to waiter in a small café he looked at me as if I'm a lunatic.
To contribute something to the topic instead of just rambling: As long as it's ripe and you digest it well, all fruit should be pretty peaty.
I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)

I only think of one thing, when I hear Belgium and French speaking. (As long as we're temporarily off topic.)

Back on topic, guavas and mangoes are great. I find guava harder to get at proper ripeness. Mangoes tend to ripen much easier after purchase. Where guavas tend to simply just go bad, versus becoming ripe. Moral of the story for guavas, for me, is buy them ripe or not at all.

Same here. The ataulfo mangoes are excellent here when in season, but I gave up trying to find ripe guavas and instead, I buy it in juice form now and have it year round. I also get delicious lychee, passion fruit and soursop juice from the same company. I order a case (24 pack) weekly from Amazon.

Agreed.
