What green veggies can I eat to avoid gout flares?
Answer
Foods high in purines are those that may be limited for those who suffer from gout. Fortunately, all fruits and many vegetables are considered low purine foods. Some vegetables that contain higher levels of purine are asparagus, cauliflower, dried lentils, peas & beans, green peas, mushrooms and spinach.
You may need to limit foods that are high in purines to better manage your symptoms. Consult your doctor and a registered dietitian for further and more personalized recommendations.
