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.
