Mint is a very low-purine herb that is safe and potentially beneficial for gout management.
Good
Mint adds flavor without purines or sugar, and its anti-inflammatory compounds may support joint health. It is an excellent base for hydrating, unsweetened teas.
Bad
Avoid mint in sugary drinks or alcoholic cocktails like mint juleps, which can trigger gout flares due to added sugar or alcohol.
