Farro (cooked)

Farro (cooked) is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 140 g serving has about 17 mg of purines, about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.

These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 17 mg here counts as roughly 5 mg toward your gout risk.

Farro (cooked) is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing

Per 100 g (for comparison)

Purines Estimated
12 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).

Fructose Estimated
0.1 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).

Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.

Good to know: Derived for the cooked, hydrated grain from the raw spelt/emmer value. Dry farro is roughly three times higher per 100 g.
Diet is part of the picture, not all of it

For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
