Nutmeg & Gout

Safe to Eat

Nutmeg is a safe, low-purine food at 0mg/100g. Gout patients can include it in their diet without triggering uric acid spikes. While Nutmeg 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.
