Your feedback
Good for you

Extremely low purine content (under 10 mg per 100 g) means they do not raise uric acid levels; they fit into a vegetable-rich diet recommended for gout management.

Bad for you

A minority of people self-report tomatoes as a personal trigger possibly due to glutamate content, though evidence does not show causation for most individuals.
