Split peas are a safe, nutrient-dense legume; plant purines do not increase gout flare risk.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Split peas are a moderate-purine legume, yet plant-based purines do not elevate gout risk. They provide protein and fiber, making them a healthy substitute for high-purine animal foods in a gout diet.
Bad
  • Split peas do not pose a gout risk on their own, but be cautious of accompanying high-fructose corn syrup or alcohol in soups or dishes, which independently elevate uric acid and may trigger flares.
