Plant Purines in Legumes
Legumes carry moderate purine values — lentils, beans, and soy products typically list 50 to 100 mg per 100 g — but like other plants, their purines are mostly adenine and guanine, which affect uric acid less than the hypoxanthine in meat. No strong evidence links regular legume intake to higher gout risk, and their fiber and plant protein are useful in a gout-friendly diet. The caution is portion and preparation: heavily salted or sweetened bean products change the picture.
