Paprika & Gout

Safe to Eat

Purine levels in Paprika are minimal at 0mg/100g, making it a safe everyday food for people with gout. While Paprika 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.
