Broad Beans (dried) is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Value is per 100g of dry, uncooked broad 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.

How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 130 g, which delivers 46 mg of purines, about 12% of a normal day's purine budget.
