Pumpkin seeds are a low-purine, anti-inflammatory seed generally safe and beneficial for gout management.
Good
Rich in magnesium and anti-inflammatory compounds that may help lower gout risk and reduce flare severity. Their plant purines do not spike uric acid like animal purines.
Bad
Calorie-dense due to healthy fats, so portion control is wise to avoid weight gain, which can worsen gout. No significant purine or fructose concerns.
