Can I eat black soybeans if I have high uric acid levels?

Patients with high uric acid levels can consume black beans, but should pay attention to controlling the intake amount. Black beans are a nutritious legume food rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients beneficial to health. They also contain a certain amount of purines, with approximately 100–130 milligrams of purine per 100 grams of black beans, classifying them as moderate-purine foods. Therefore, patients with high uric acid levels should consume black beans in moderation to avoid excessive intake that may lead to elevated uric acid levels. Regarding diet, patients with high uric acid should follow the low-purine diet principle, minimizing intake of high-purine foods such as animal offal, seafood, and meat broths. At the same time, appropriately increasing consumption of low-purine foods like fresh vegetables and fruits can help promote uric acid excretion and reduce uric acid levels.
