Hayacas

With moderation

Hayacas are moderate in purines due to meat fillings; occasional single servings are fine.

Good

The corn or cassava dough and vegetables are low in purines. Choosing lean meats or a vegetarian filling can make them safer for gout.

Bad

Meat fillings add moderate purines, and added sugars like papelón can raise urate. Eating multiple hayacas in one sitting increases flare risk.
