Can people with high uric acid levels eat dried tofu skin?
Disease description:
I personally love eating dried tofu skin, but I currently have hyperuricemia. I’d like to ask: Is it safe for people with high uric acid levels to consume dried tofu skin?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with hyperuricemia may consume dried tofu skin (fu zhu), but should limit the quantity. As we know, individuals with elevated uric acid levels must restrict their intake of high-purine foods and may consume moderate-purine foods in moderation. “Moderate-purine foods” refer to those containing 50–150 mg of purine per 100 g. Dried tofu skin contains approximately 66.5 mg of purine per 100 g.
