A Healthy Guide to Foods Low in Salicylates

Unfortunately there is a boatload of misinformation on the internet about the salicylate levels in foods. Here I will write out the true list adapted from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital guide, including only healthy foods that promote healing and leaving out GMO products, sugar, wheat, gluten and fats/oils that promote toxicity.

LOW:
Fresh ripe pears
Potato (I find it best to limit or eliminate this is if you have digestive problems or candida)
Iceberg lettuce, Bamboo shoots (tinned and fresh), Beans- butter, french, string or snake, Bean shoots, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage- red, green (drumhead), savoy, wombok, Celery, Chives, Choko, Garlic- very small amounts only, Leek, Mungbean sprouts, Shallot, Swede
Fresh, unaged, unprocessed, organic meat- chicken without the skin, lamb, veal, beef
White fish- bream, flathead, ling, perch, snapper, whiting
Crab, Lobster, Calamari, Sea Scallops, Natural Oysters, Mussels
Fresh, free range, organic eggs
Dried and canned legumes as listed-
NB legumes should be soaked and drained overnight for at least 12-18 hours for proper absorbtion and easy digestion and then cooked. They should be avoided where there are serious digestive issues or candida is involved.
Split peas- green and yellow, Chickpeas and chickpea flour (besan flour), Lentils- red and brown, Borlotti beans, Canellini beans, Lima beans, Haricot beans, Black eye beans, Red kidney beans, Soya beans, White beans, Bean mixes
Cashew Nuts- this site will not include any recipes with nuts as I am allergic
Poppy seeds
Agar Agar, Baking Powder, Bicarbonate of soda, Carob powder, Citric Acid, Guar gum and Xanthan gum, Natural vanilla essence, Vanilla pods
Garnishes- chives, parsley, saffron threads, shallots, spring onion and celtic sea salt
Butter- make your own in the Thermomix from fresh organic cream or buy a good quality organic butter for optimum health or use Ghee. The only other dairy I consume is natural yoghurt in my morning smoothie (I like organic Barambah) I also use fresh goats cheese from the markets or health food store.
The RPAH book recommends Canola, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil and soy oils but the only one I would be using would be safflower oil and then only on VERY low heat if at all and only organic cold pressed, these kinds of oils can cause serious damage to your cells, heart health and immune system not to mention put on weight.

The only flours/grains I use are listed below. I mill my own flour using the Thermomix so that I get the nutritional value of the husks freshly milled- flour should be used sparingly and as a special treat, 80% of your diet should be made up of  vegetables for optimum health!
Amaranth, Buckwheat, Besan, Tapioca, Potato, Quinoa, Brown rice, Rice paper
These foods are all low in salicylates, because of my sensitivity I stick to mostly these foods but will soon be introducing foods in the moderate category.
