Watermelon is safe for gout. It is low in purines, high in water content (which helps flush uric acid), and provides vitamin

Good
  • Low purine content, high water content (hydration helps excrete uric acid), provides vitamin C (may modestly lower serum uric acid), and contains anti-inflammatory antioxidants (lycopene, beta-carotene).
Bad
  • Contains natural fructose (about 5–6 g per cup of diced watermelon). While not a concern for most, very high intakes of fructose are linked to increased uric acid. Stick to reasonable portions (e.g., 1–2 cups).
