Baked beans are safe in moderation, but avoid sugary or high-sodium canned varieties that can trigger flares.
Good
The beans provide plant-based purines that do not raise gout risk, plus fiber. Unsweetened or homemade versions are a nutritious, gout-friendly option.
Bad
Canned baked beans often contain high-fructose corn syrup, which raises uric acid, and significant sodium that may worsen hypertension.
