How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 85 g, which delivers 40 mg of purines, or about 10% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 40 mg here counts as roughly 12 mg toward your gout risk.
Bamboo Shoots are an easy choice to keep on hand.
