Your feedback
Good for you

They provide anti-inflammatory vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium. A moderate handful is unlikely to trigger flares and may support overall gout-friendly dietary patterns.

Bad for you

They are calorie-dense and high in fat, so overeating can contribute to weight gain—a known gout risk factor. Choose unsalted versions to avoid excess sodium.
