Watercress is a low-purine vegetable with negligible impact on gout risk and is encouraged in gout diets.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Low purine content (13–28 mg per 100 g) and nutrient density with anti-inflammatory and potential diuretic benefits that may support uric acid clearance.
Bad
  • No meaningful downsides; vegetables like watercress do not raise uric acid levels or trigger flares.
