Why grade A

Low risk in a typical serving. A great everyday choice for a gout-friendly diet.

Per 100 g (for comparison)

Purines confidence: medium
69.1 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).

Fructose confidence: high
1.12 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

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.
