Mint is low in purines and safe for gout, especially as fresh leaves or unsweetened tea.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Mint provides anti-inflammatory flavonoids and negligible purines; unsweetened mint tea or fresh mint in water can be a hydrating, gout-friendly choice.
Bad
  • Avoid mint in alcoholic drinks like mojitos or mint juleps, and in sugary candies or syrups with high-fructose corn syrup.
