Peas Podded & Gout

Safe to Eat
📊 Beans Guide →

Purine levels in Peas Podded are minimal at 10.4mg/100g, making it a safe everyday food for people with gout. Despite containing purines, legumes are recommended for gout — the plant-source purine is metabolized differently. Replacing some animal protein with legumes may actually help lower uric acid levels. Soaking dried legumes for 8–12 hours before cooking improves digestibility and reduces anti-nutrients. Rinse canned beans thoroughly to cut sodium by up to 40%.
