How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 50 g, which delivers 23 mg of purines, or about 6% 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 23 mg here counts as roughly 7 mg toward your gout risk.
Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.
