Fish Roe
Also listed as: Roe, mixed species, raw
Fish Roe is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 20 g serving has about 16 mg of purines, about 4% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.

Why grade A: per 100 g and processing
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Moderate for gout (50–150 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
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.
