Cassava root is low in purines and safe for gout when boiled, baked, or steamed.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Low-purine, complex-carbohydrate root—safe like potatoes/yams. Plant purines don't raise uric acid; fiber and vitamin C may help.
Bad
  • Fried cassava (chips/fries) or high-fat sauces are problematic, but the root itself is fine.
