Foods To Eat In Moderation

Sparkpeo

Aside from high-purine foods, processed foods, high-fructose foods and beverages, and alcohol, there are other foods that contain some amount of purines, from 100 to 200 milligrams per 3.5-ounce serving, that you should only consume in moderation. For example, chicken contains 110 milligrams (leg with skin, no bone) to 175 milligrams (breast with skin) of purines, and you should limit your intake to four to six ounces a few times each week to prevent gout attacks. Other foods that contain a lower but fair quantity of purines (from 50 to 150 milligrams) are poultry, deli meats, wholegrain bread, cereals and pasta, cashew, groundnuts, peanuts and peanut butter, fresh or canned salmon, and other fish and seafood.

Though plant-based foods are not known to trigger gout flare-ups, you may want to limit your intake of certain fungi, vegetables, and fruits that contain purines, such as mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, green peas, kale, spinach, durian, and strawberries.
