I'm sure Fred will have an opinion about your low acid comment, but here's mine.

For many years it was thought, with no data to prove it, that the pastel colored fruits were low acid, and some websites/catalogs say the same, but it turns out that they have normal acidity but a higher sugar content which masks the acidity.

And yes, if you Google this issue you'll plenty of links where data is shown to confirm that.

I'd do it for you but this is the 2nd week of Wimbledon tennis and I'm just touching base here briefly and back out I go to watch.
