How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 100 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.
Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 40 mg here counts as roughly 20 mg toward your gout risk.
Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.
