Beans (small white, dried) is low in purines and generally safe for people with gout in normal portions.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Value is per 100g of dry, uncooked small white beans. Cooking rehydrates them and roughly doubles-to-triples their weight, so cooked beans contain well under half this per 100g. Judge a normal cooked serving, not the dry weight.
Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 130 g, which delivers 263 mg of purines, about 66% of a normal day's purine budget.
Why grade B
Safe for most people in normal portions.
Per 100 g (for comparison)
High for gout (150–300 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
These are plant purines. Research links purines from vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms far more weakly to gout flares than purines from meat and seafood, so the per-100g figure overstates the real risk here.
