8. Beans, Peas, and Other Legumes
Beans, peas, and other legumes are widely known to contain high levels of uric acid. People diagnosed with gout should limit their intake of these foods. According to the World’s Healthiest Foods, peas contain 5 – 100 mg of uric acid per 3.5 oz of serving. Eating these foods in their raw form is less harmful in comparison with the cooked ones but still, you have to consume them in small quantities or moderate amounts.
9. Mushrooms
Some consider mushrooms as a great alternative to consuming meat. You have to reconsider this idea. This is because mushrooms, similar with legumes, are known to contain moderately high concentration of uric acid. There are different schools of thought here, because some people actually consume mushrooms because they have gout and arthritis. It boils down to which foods you’d rather have and avoid. If you think about it, a serving of mushrooms would be better than one serving of organ meats in terms of uric acid levels.
