Pear

Safe
Food

Raw pears are a gout-safe fruit. They are naturally low in purines (well under 50 mg per 100 g) and rich in vitamin C and fiber, which may help lower serum uric acid levels. The fructose content in pears is moderate, but the overall purine load is so low that the risk of triggering a gout flare is negligible when consuming a normal portion (one medium pear).

Your feedback
Good for you

Low purine content, source of vitamin C (uric acid-lowering effect), provides dietary fiber and hydration, no animal-based purines.

Bad for you

Contains fructose; excessive consumption of any high-fructose fruit could theoretically raise uric acid in susceptible individuals, though the effect is minimal with pears in normal portions.
