See title.
I seem to get a bad reaction to bananas, and pineapple doesn't sit too well with me either after more than about half of a pineapple (the bromelain in it). I think durianrider/bananagirl say to wait until the banana starts to have black spots - maybe then it'll be safer to eat the banana? I might try that, might as well... better than completely wasting the rest of the bananas I bought.
I am trying to eat a LOT of fruit, so any fruit like pineapple is a no-go for me, since I can eat such a limited amount.
I like apples, but unfortunately the skin is pretty pesticide heavy.
Just re-read from the WIKI while typing this thread (these are quotes from Ray Peat himself in email exchange):
So, oranges, watermelons, and grapes are the best eh? I've never even seen corossol, guanabana, longans, lychees, pawpaw, sapota, gaunabana in my stores before so most of those are ruled out... I have seen papaya and guavas though.
What about cantelope? I like the taste of that.

Bananas and jack-fruit are strong allergens, possibly because of their cultivation methods. Mangos, apples, and pears are allergenic to some people. Poorly ripened fruits of all sorts should be avoided.
[Safe fruits] Corossol, lychee, longan, guava, papaya, pawpaw, sapota, guanabana. Some frozen and canned fruits are good; applesauce, corossol, guanabana, longans, and lychees for example. Forum Discussion
[Salicylic acid intolerance] The fruits you mention all seriously increase serotonin. A sore throat is a quick effect, but some people get migraines from them. The pectin in raw apples causes the intestine to release serotonin into the blood, so well cooked apples have much less effect. Fruits contain almost no salicylic acid. (Reference)
[I think you have stated that the best fruits, if properly grown, are oranges, watermelons, and grapes. Is guava close to them in quality?] Yes, they rank with oranges for their protective qualities.
