Can people with gout eat peanuts?

Peanuts are not recommended for patients with gout. Peanuts are nutritionally rich, containing substantial amounts of fat, protein, amino acids, purines, peanut alkaloid, choline, starch, dietary fiber, inorganic salts, various vitamins, and minerals—including calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. Peanuts are classified as a food with moderate purine content, containing 96 mg of purines per 100 g. Therefore, patients experiencing an acute gout attack should avoid consuming peanuts. However, individuals in the remission phase of gout or those with asymptomatic hyperuricemia may consume peanuts in moderation.
