What drives the grade
Fresh Cod carries 93% of the purine in this dish. The grade also counts its 2 g of fructose, as every grade on this site does.
To lower the purines, keep the fresh cod portion small (about a deck of cards), or swap it for a lower-purine protein like eggs, tofu, or low-fat dairy.
