Papad is generally safe for gout due to plant-based purines, but watch sodium and frying method.
Good
Papad's legume-based purines do not raise uric acid like animal purines. It has no fructose or alcohol, and provides fiber and protein that support weight management.
Bad
Papad is very high in sodium (226 mg per piece), which can affect blood pressure and kidney function. Deep-fried versions may contain acrylamide; opt for roasted or air-fried.
