* Chicken Bone Broth: no beef or pork broth row yet, counted as our chicken bone broth. White Rice: no rice noodle row yet, counted as cooked white rice, the same grain. The catalogue has no cited rows for those ingredients yet, so the closest ones stand in, named here rather than hidden.
Purine is weighted by source, as on every food page: animal and seafood count in full, plants at 0.3, dairy at 0.
What drives the grade
Chicken Bone Broth carries 52% of the purine in this dish.
This dish is high in purines from chicken bone broth and beef round (topside). Keep the portions small, especially the chicken bone broth, and fill the rest of the plate with vegetables.
Broth, stock, and gravy concentrate the purines that leach out of meat and bones while cooking, so the liquid can carry more than the meat itself. Go easy on the broth.
