Your feedback
Good for you

Their low purine content and absence of hypoxanthine make them unlikely to raise uric acid. Antioxidant compounds may even help lower uric acid levels.

Bad for you

A few clinical sources still warn against alfalfa due to historic purine concerns, though actual sprout purine levels are modest.
