How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 240 g, which delivers 33 mg of purines, or about 8% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
There is a little fructose here. Fructose raises uric acid whatever its source, but at this amount it is a minor contributor next to the purine number above.
Evidence: Ayoub-Charette et al., J Nutr 2021 (fructose by food source) · White et al., Am J Clin Nutr 2018 (whole apple vs. a fructose drink, matched dose)
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 33 mg here counts as roughly 16 mg toward your gout risk.
Vegetable Juice is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Juice delivers the sugar of several pieces of fruit in a glass you can finish in a minute, and cohort studies link even unsweetened 100% juice to higher gout risk (about 41% for a daily glass of orange juice). Whole fruit is the safer choice; if you drink juice, keep the glass small.
