I will use grapes to obtain that boost.
Sour Cherries are a punishment, worse even than Crabapples.
Whenever I think of beets, I think of that intense crimson that is hard to remove. I like picked beets once in a while.

"And, despite the ability of L-citrulline to boost nitric oxide production in the body, consuming watermelon (high in L-citrulline) did not boost exercise performance. "

I read, don't remember where, that most of the citrulline is in the rind part of the melon, and in the pink part near the rind.

I wonder how sour plums would fare. They were a potent staple for samurai. “Umeboshi”

you can also buy nitric oxide supplements- i took them for awhile- they did help a bit- nothing to write home about in my experience, but you could definitely feel a bit of difference-

Next, they will ban the use of performance enhancing natural foods like beetroot.

beets increase nitric oxide levels. apparently the nitrates in beets do a better job of this than the l citrulline in watermellons.

Would you argue for a different explanation. That is would you say that beets/grapes/sour cherries/pine bark extract increase performance via a different pathway than nitric oxide?
