Cherries and tart cherry juice

Cherries are rich in anthocyanins and vitamin C; multiple studies associate cherry intake with fewer gout flares and small reductions in uric acid.Image Source: iStock

Citrus fruits (oranges, mosambi, lemon)

Vitamin C may modestly lower uric acid by improving kidney excretion and reducing oxidative stress; citrus is an easy daily source.Image Source: iStock

Berries (strawberry, blueberry, blackberry)

Berries provide anthocyanins and vitamin C with relatively low sugar per serving, supporting anti‑inflammatory effects without heavy fructose loads.Image Source: iStock

Apples and pears

Soluble fiber (pectin) can support healthy lipids and satiety, helping with weight management that indirectly benefits uric acid; they’re low in purines and easy to portion.Image Source: iStock

Kiwi and guava

Both are vitamin C‑dense with fiber and water, offering antioxidant support that may aid uric acid control without high purine loads.Image Source: iStock

Bananas

Bananas are low in purines and provide vitamin C and potassium; they’re generally safe in moderation for many people with gout. Stick to 1 small banana and avoid banana-heavy smoothies. (Disclaimer: T
