Tarragon & Gout

Safe to Eat

With only 0mg/100g of purine, Tarragon is firmly in the safe zone for gout. It can be enjoyed regularly without concern. While Tarragon 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.
