Your feedback

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.
