Mint is a very low-purine herb that is safe and potentially beneficial for gout management.

Added by vblinden

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.
