Why grade A: per 100 g and processing

Per 100 g (for comparison)

Purines
1.1 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

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

Fructose
7.12 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

Moderate for gout (3–8 g/100g).

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

Good to know: Fructose shown is per 100g of dried, ground paprika, a concentrated spice. A normal pinch delivers a tiny fraction of this.
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.
