Rice Bran

Rice Bran 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.

Rice bran is the purine-rich outer layer of the grain and is much higher than white or brown rice (both low-purine). It is typically used in small amounts as a supplement or baking ingredient, not eaten in quantity, so a normal use delivers far less than this per-100g figure.

How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 15 g, which delivers 15 mg of purines, about 4% of a normal day's purine budget.

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
100.2 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).

Fructose confidence: high
0.2 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.
