Stuffed grape leaves are a low-purine, plant-based food safe for gout when made without meat.
Good
Provides anti-inflammatory polyphenols from grape leaves and fits a DASH or Mediterranean diet pattern. The plant-based filling is low in purines and does not raise uric acid.
Bad
Brined or canned versions can be high in sodium, which may affect blood pressure and kidney health. Meat-filled varieties introduce animal purines and should be limited to occasional small portions.
