White Rice
Also listed as: Rice, white, cooked
White Rice is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 140 g serving has about 8 mg of purines, about 2% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
Other forms run higher, up to grade C (about 6 mg a serving) for Rice Crackers. Check yours below.
How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
These are plant purines, which research links far more weakly to flares: the 8 mg here counts as roughly 2 mg toward your gout risk.
White Rice is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Fructose here is estimated, not measured directly for this food.
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
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.
