Rabbit & Gout

Eat in Moderation

With 80mg/100g of purine, Rabbit falls into the moderate category — fine occasionally, but not an everyday staple for gout. Red meat is one of the primary dietary sources of purines. The Arthritis Foundation recommends limiting red meat and choosing lean cuts when you do eat it. For the lowest purine intake from Rabbit, choose lean cuts and trim all visible fat. Cooking methods matter — poaching and steaming are better than grilling.
