Puerto Rican style stewed potatoes (papas guisadas) are a gout-safe dish when prepared in the traditional vegetable-based style. Potatoes are very low

Good
  • Potatoes are a low-purine, nutrient-dense carbohydrate source. The dish provides potassium (supports uric acid excretion through the kidneys), vitamin C (modestly lowers serum urate), and anti-inflammatory compounds from sofrito ingredients (garlic, onions, peppers). It is compatible with the DASH diet recommended by current gout guidelines.
Bad
  • If the stew is made with beef or pork (carne guisada), the animal-based purines increase gout flare risk significantly. The cooking wine used in some recipes may be a minor concern for those with poorly controlled gout. Sodium content can be elevated, which matters for gout patients with comorbid hypertension.
