Pomegranates are a gout-friendly fruit. They are low in purines (under 50 mg per 100g), which means they do not significantly contribute

Good
  • Low purine content; rich in anti-inflammatory antioxidants; may help lower uric acid through xanthine oxidase inhibition; high in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
Bad
  • No significant downsides for gout in normal consumption. However, pomegranate juice can be high in natural sugars (fructose), so drinking it in excess could modestly raise uric acid via fructose metabolism—stick to the whole fruit or moderate juice amounts.
