Raspberry and gout

Raspberries are a excellent choice for people managing gout. At just 12 mg of purines per 100 g, they fall firmly into the low-purine category and can be enjoyed regularly without concern about triggering a flare. Unlike high-purine foods such as red meat or organ meats, raspberries are naturally low in the compounds that break down into uric acid in your body. They're also packed with vitamin C and fibre, which support overall health. For daily maintenance, you can comfortably include a serving of raspberries as part of your regular diet without approaching the 400 mg daily purine threshold. A practical tip: enjoy a generous handful (around 150 g) as a snack or add them to yoghurt or oatmeal. Remember to stay well hydrated throughout the day, as water helps your kidneys process uric acid more effectively. Raspberries are a delicious, gout-friendly fruit you can feel confident eating.
