Plantains are a low-purine, starchy fruit that is safe for gout when baked or boiled.

Good
  • Provides fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, supporting overall health without raising uric acid. Best eaten green or baked to avoid added fats.
Bad
  • Ripe plantains contain fructose, though whole fruit is unlikely to trigger flares. Fried preparations like tostones add unhealthy fats that promote inflammation.
