Apricot

Safe
Food

Apricots are a low-purine fruit that can be safely consumed as part of a gout-friendly diet. They are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which may help lower uric acid levels. However, apricots contain moderate amounts of fructose, so excessive consumption (more than 2-3 per day) may not be ideal for some people with gout. Overall, raw apricots are considered safe for most people with gout in normal portions.
