White beans are safe for gout. Their plant-based purines do not raise uric acid or trigger flares.
Good
White beans offer fiber and plant protein, which support heart health and weight management—both beneficial for gout. Their plant purines do not raise flare risk.
Bad
Canned white beans may contain added sodium; rinse them before use. Avoid sugary or sweet-sauced preparations like baked beans with added fructose.
