Purines by serving size
| Serving | Weight | Purines | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 seeds (80 g) | 80 g | 4 mg | 🟡 Moderate |
Thresholds: under 50 mg per serving is Safe, 50–150 mg is Moderate, over 150 mg is High-risk.
This food is rated at least Moderate regardless of portion, because purine content alone understates its effect on uric acid.
Beyond purines
- High in fructose Fructose drives uric acid production. This is why some low-purine foods and drinks still contribute to flares.
