Your feedback

Cucumber is very low in purines and high in water, making it a hydrating, gout-safe food.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Its negligible purine content, mostly non-uricogenic forms, won't raise uric acid. High water content aids kidney excretion of urate.
Bad
  • No adverse effects for gout. Contains minimal fructose, and no alcohol, so it poses no flare risk even in large portions.
