A low-purine pastry, but commercial versions often contain high sugar and fructose that can spike uric acid.
Good
Strudel's base ingredients like flour, fruit, and butter are low in purines and not a direct gout trigger. A modest homemade portion with minimal added sugar is acceptable.
Bad
Store-bought strudels frequently contain high-fructose corn syrup and refined sugar, which can rapidly raise serum urate and increase flare risk. The high calorie and fat content also contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome.
