Tahini & Gout

Safe to Eat

With only 36.3mg/100g of purine, Tahini is firmly in the safe zone for gout. It can be enjoyed regularly without concern. While Tahini 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.
