Cilantro & Gout

Safe to Eat

At 0mg/100g of purine, Cilantro falls well under the 50mg threshold — a safe and healthy choice for anyone managing gout. While Cilantro itself is low in purine, the real gout risk with condiments comes from hidden sugars — especially high-fructose corn syrup — and high sodium content. Always check labels.
