Fructose raises uric acid whatever it comes from, and this serving carries enough of it to count. The trials that found no effect from fruit tested ordinary portions under controlled energy intake, not large ones.

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 38 mg here counts as roughly 11 mg toward your gout risk.

Red or green Grapes fit in moderation, so portion is the thing to get right.
