With moderation
Food

Chickpea-based falafel is low in purines, but deep-frying adds inflammatory fats that can trigger gout flares.

Your feedback
Good for you

Its plant-based purines do not raise uric acid like animal purines. Baked or air-fried falafel fits gout-friendly Mediterranean and DASH diets.

Bad for you

Deep-fried falafel introduces pro-inflammatory oils and excess calories, which can worsen inflammation and promote weight gain.
