You can tell when you drink or eat lemons, lemonade, grapefruit, apples, Oranges, bananas and etc . it will taste sour or bitter.
Sour means acid.
Bases tend to be bitter - but tasting strong bases is very dangerous. Hopefully you will never try testing something like drain cleaner to find out.
A base is a substance that taste bitter, feels slippery & turns red litmus blue.
Acids taste sour, reacts with metals & carbonates & turns litmus paper from blue to red.

How can you tell If a food contains zan acid or a base as one of it's ingredients?
- If there are no acids in food, there won't be any vitamins for us to have a healthy cell system.
Acids are usually sour .
neutral
the best answer i could find was because of its low pH number i dont know if it is right but at least it could be right
Acid breaks down the food in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks down the proteins from the food, in the stomach. Highly acidic pH helps to break down the food.
Home made pickles are slightly alkaline (base) ~7.2 pH, but commercial dill pickles are pretty acidic. Roughly 6 pH
Any food has nucleic acid, because all living things contain nucleic acid. The only way a food wouldn't have nucleic acid is if you eat something weird, like plastic, as my biology teacher says.
Tangy food contain organic acids. So, it does not necessarily mean that, it contains acetic acid. It may contain any other organic acid like Tartaric acid, Citric acid, etc.
According to the color and purpose, it may contain acetic acid, although many of them do not.
Prickled food like achar contain nuclier acid
apples,oranges,pineapples,apricots Lemons contain citric acid vinegar contains acetic acid
three practical uses of an acid is in a home, food, and industry. the same goes for a base.
neutral
base he says base but The foods we eat are digested; they break down into either an acid or an alkaline end-product in our tissues. This end-product is called the "ash" and is what remains in the body after the food has been broken down. i think is an acid
the stomage has a pH <1 therefore the food is acidificated
All food does contain nucleic acid, as that is the basis of DNA, which is in all living things.
Yes because it is more acidic than basic.
limiting amino acid
If its acidity level is below 7, then it is a acid. If it is above a seven, then it is a base. If it is exactly 7 then it is neutral such as water.
