Lychee

Safe
Food

Lychee is a tropical fruit that is safe to eat for people with gout. It is low in purines, has a moderate glycemic index, and contains vitamin C, which may help lower uric acid levels. However, lychee is naturally high in sugar (fructose), which can potentially increase uric acid production if consumed in very large amounts. Therefore, while generally safe, moderation is still advised as part of a balanced gout-friendly diet.
