Plain mustard seed is very low in purines and safe for gout in normal culinary amounts.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Mustard seed is a low-purine condiment that adds flavor without raising uric acid levels. Its anti-inflammatory compounds may offer minor benefits, but these are not clinically proven for gout.
Bad
  • Avoid sweetened mustards like honey mustard, which may contain high-fructose corn syrup or added sugars that can trigger gout attacks. Also check sodium content in processed varieties.
