Your feedback

Refried beans are a low-urate-risk legume; their plant purines do not trigger gout flares.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • The plant-based purines in refried beans do not raise serum urate like animal purines. They are a healthy protein alternative to meat and fit well into DASH or Mediterranean diets.
Bad
  • Canned or restaurant refried beans may contain lard or added saturated fats, which can worsen obesity and metabolic syndrome—gout risk factors. Avoid pairing with sugary drinks.
