A low-purine diet can help limit incidences of gout for those who are prone to this condition. Many protein sources tend to be high in purines, however, making it potentially difficult for people to get the protein they need while limiting purines. Beans tend to be a better choice than meats -- although they are still moderately high in purines -- since they have a lower fat content.

Beans and a Low-Purine Diet

Patients suffering from gout are often advised to avoid the habitual consumption of meat, seafood, animal proteins and plant-based high-purine foods. However, according to a study appearing in the July, 2015 issue of Arthritis Rheumatol, plant-based high-purine foods appear to have less impact on recurring instances of gout than animal-based high-purine foods. This means it is more important to limit purines from meat than those from beans. Because obesity is linked to gout and most meats tend to be high in both fat and purines, this could account for some of the difference in the effects of animal- and plant-based sources of purines. This doesn't mean you can eat an unlimited amount of beans, however; you still need to take their purine content into consideration.

Lowest-Purine Beans

Based on a serving size of 1/2 cup of cooked beans, the purine content of beans ranges from 19 to 75 milligrams, making them low to moderate purine foods. Among the better choices are garbanzo beans, with 19 milligrams of purines per 1/2-cup serving; lima beans, with 49 milligrams; red beans, 55 milligrams; and pinto beans, 57 milligrams.

Higher-Purine Beans

Black-eyed peas, lentils and great northern beans have more than 70 milligrams per serving, and small white beans, split peas and soybeans all have more than 60 milligrams of purines per serving. This is still lower than the purine content of meat or fish, which is more than 100 milligrams per 3.5 ounce serving, but you should opt for lower-purine beans more often than these types of beans.

Is Banana lower uric acid?

Bananas are low in purines and high in vitamin C, which makes them a good food to eat if you have gout. Changing your diet to include more low-purine foods, like bananas, can lower the amount of uric acid in your blood and reduce your risk of recurrent gout attacks.

healthline.com - Bananas and Gout - Healthline

Gout Uric acid is a byproduct created when the body breaks down purines. Purines are substances naturally produced in the body and also found in some foods and beverages. If you have too much uric acid in your body, it may form crystals that cause inflammation and pain in your joints. This can cause a type of arthritis called gout. Although there are other factors that contribute to gout, the higher the levels of uric acid in your body, the greater the chance for gout inflammation, swelling, and pain. Bananas and gout Research suggests that changing your diet could help control gout symptoms and reduce the risk of developing gout. Eating a low-purine diet should lower uric acid production, which might, in turn, reduce gout attacks. Bananas are a very low-purine food. They’re also a good source of vitamin C. A 2021 review suggests that high vitamin C intake may protect against gout, but more research is needed to confirm this potential benefit. The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that one banana contains 14.1 mg of vitamin C, around 16% of the daily value (DV). Other low-purine foods Although changing your diet probably won’t cure your gout, it can slow the advancement of joint damage and lower the risk of recurring attacks by reducing uric acid levels in your blood. In addition to bananas, here are some other low-purine foods to add to your diet: fruits

dark berries

vegetables (vegetables high in purines — like spinach and asparagus — do not increase the risk of gout or gout attacks)

nuts (including peanut butter)

low-fat/fat-free dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese)

eggs

potatoes

tofu

pasta
