Miso contains 56.13mg/100g of purine — moderate, not high. It can be part of a gout-friendly diet with sensible portions. Plant-based proteins like Miso are a smart choice for gout. Unlike meat, the purines in legumes and soy products have minimal impact on uric acid levels.
Miso should be eaten in moderation with gout. It contains 56.13mg of purine per 100g (moderate range: 50–150mg). It can be part of a gout-friendly diet, but keep portions reasonable and not daily.
Legumes (beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas, tofu) contain plant-based purines that do not raise uric acid the way animal purines do. The Arthritis Foundation specifically recommends vegetable proteins including peas, beans, lentils, and tofu.

Losing excess weight can lower uric acid levels and reduce the frequency of gout attacks. Research shows that calorie reduction helps even without a purine-restricted diet. [Source: Mayo Clinic]

Rinse canned beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium — choose low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties when possible. [Source: Cleveland Clinic]
