Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a low-calorie type of veggie that can provide many essential nutrients such as copper, niacin, and riboflavin. However, some varieties can be high in uric acid and can trigger gout’s symptoms in your body. Thus, it is recommended to limit the amount of this food to around a 0.5-cup portion for at most 5 times per week. This will help control the level of purine. Instead, you can go for other low-purine veggies to ensure a sufficient intake of minerals and vitamins. For example, you can use peppers in place of usual mushrooms on pizzas, salads, or omelet to enhance texture and flavor, while still ensuring a low level of uric acid in your body. [11]
