Frequently Asked Questions
Kiwi: is it high in purines?
Kiwi: 10mg of purines per 100g, well inside the low-purine band (under 50mg/100g) used on this site. That makes it a comfortable everyday choice in a gout-friendly diet, though portion size and the rest of the plate still count.
Can I eat Kiwi during a gout flare?
Yes. At 10mg per 100g the purine load is well inside the low band, so there is no need to leave Kiwi out during a flare. Light meals and enough fluid matter more here than avoiding a food like this.
What are the best low-purine alternatives to Kiwi?
There is little to substitute here: the purine content already sits in the low band, so the aim is variety rather than replacement. Other low-purine options include tofu, low-fat dairy and most vegetables.
