Which fruits are lowest in fructose?
Our database identifies 59 fruits with under 2g fructose per 100g — including many berries, citrus fruits, and melons. These deliver vitamins and anthocyanins without the uric-acid-raising fructose load of sweeter fruits like mangoes or grapes.
Why does fructose matter for gout?
Fructose is the only sugar that directly raises uric acid: its liver metabolism consumes ATP and accelerates purine degradation. Studies link high fructose intake to significantly higher gout risk, which is why fruit selection matters even though fruits are low in purines.
