Soy Protein Concentrate

Also listed as: Soy protein concentrate, produced by acid wash

Soy Protein Concentrate is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 30 g serving has about 58 mg of purines, about 14% of a ~400 mg working daily target. It is relatively high in purines per 100 g, but plant purines are only weakly linked to flares, so it stays a safe choice.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Across forms of soy:A· 8–58 mg per serving

Value is per 100g of soy protein concentrate, a processed ingredient rather than a whole food eaten by the 100g. It is used in modest amounts within other foods, so a normal intake delivers less purine than this per-100g figure.

Units

A typical serving is about 30 g, which delivers 58 mg of purines, or about 14% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

You could have up to about ½ cup (105 g) before this reaches half a ~400 mg working daily purine target.

These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 58 mg here counts as roughly 17 mg toward your gout risk.

Soy Protein Concentrate is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A

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

Per 100 g (for comparison)

Purines Moderate confidence
192 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

High for gout (150–300 mg/100g).

Fructose Moderate confidence (estimated)

LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).

Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.

Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.

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.
