Your feedback

Couscous is very low in purines and contains no fructose, making it a safe grain for gout management.

Good
  • Its negligible purine content (about 14 mg per 100g cooked) fits easily into a low-purine diet. Whole-wheat couscous adds fiber and aligns with DASH or Mediterranean patterns that help lower urate.
Bad
  • Excessive portions of any refined carbohydrate can promote weight gain, which is a gout risk. Choose whole-wheat over white couscous for better nutrition without added purine concern.
