Plain cashews are very low in purines and safe for gout in normal portions.
Good
Plain cashews provide healthy fats and protein without raising uric acid. A handful daily supports weight management, which lowers gout risk.
Bad
Sugar-coated or honey-roasted cashews add fructose, which can spike urate. Pairing salted cashews with beer or liquor creates a high-risk gout trigger.
