How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 85 g, which delivers 60 mg of purines, or about 15% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
You could have up to about 2 ½ cups (285 g) before this reaches half a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 59 mg here counts as roughly 18 mg toward your gout risk.
Broccoli is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A
Low risk in a typical serving. A great everyday choice for a gout-friendly diet.
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
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.
