How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 70 g, which delivers 33 mg of purines, or about 8% 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 33 mg here counts as roughly 16 mg toward your gout risk.
Mushrooms are an easy choice to keep on hand.
