Moderate purine—fresh mushrooms are safe for gout in normal portions and may help lower uric acid.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Fresh mushrooms contain natural xanthine oxidase inhibitors that may reduce uric acid production. Replacing high-purine meats with mushrooms can lower overall flare risk.
Bad
  • Dried mushrooms (especially shiitake) can concentrate purines, and any mushroom is risky if paired with alcohol or high-fructose sauces.
