Good
  • Antioxidants and fiber in dried fruits can help with overall health; some dried fruits (like tart cherries) may modestly lower uric acid. Low-sugar dried fruits (e.g., unsulfured apricots, prunes) are better choices.
Bad
  • High concentration of fructose (especially in dates, raisins, figs) can increase uric acid production. Dried fruits often have added sugars, sulfites, or preservatives that may cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. Easy to overeat due to small volume, leading to excess fructose and calorie intake.
