How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 3 g, which delivers 1 mg of purines, or under 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 1 mg here counts as roughly 0 mg toward your gout risk.
Garlic is an easy choice to keep on hand.
