Plain peanuts are a low-purine, gout-safe food that does not raise serum urate levels.

Good
  • Peanuts are a low-purine, no-hypoxanthine protein source that is safe for gout. Some evidence links nuts to lower hyperuricemia risk, and they fit well into DASH or Mediterranean diets.
Bad
  • Avoid peanut butters and flavored peanuts with added sugars (especially high-fructose corn syrup) or excess salt, as these can increase uric acid production or worsen comorbid conditions. Also skip salted peanuts if you have hypertension or kidney concerns.
