Dragon fruit (also known as pitaya) is a low-purine, nutrient-dense tropical fruit that is generally safe for people with gout. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, while naturally low in purines and fructose. The high water content and vitamin C may help lower serum uric acid levels by promoting uric acid excretion through the kidneys. As a fruit, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet, but it does not pose the same risks as high-purine or high-fructose foods. No portion limits specific to gout are needed beyond general dietary moderation.
