Your feedback
Good for you

Cheese- or vegetable-filled empanadas are low in purines and can be eaten more freely. Baked varieties reduce unhealthy saturated fat intake compared to fried ones.

Bad for you

Beef- or chicken-filled empanadas are moderate to high in purines and may raise gout risk. Fried versions add saturated fat that can impair uric acid excretion.
