I want to know about vegetables that contain acid ?i know just one i.e. tomato which contain oxalic acid.?

Answer 1

All vegtables have acid in them, if you don't wash them properly before you consume them, since many farmers spray acid on them to keep them from being eaten by animals or unwanted insects.
