Seaweed (hijiki, dried)
Also listed as: Seaweed, hijiki, dried
Seaweed (hijiki, dried) 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.
Value is per 100g of dried hijiki, which swells several-fold when rehydrated before eating. A normal cooked serving starts from about 10g dry, far less than 100g, so the eaten amount is much lower.
Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 10 g, which delivers 13 mg of purines, about 3% 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)
Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).
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.
