Green Tea Beverage

Green Tea Beverage is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout.

General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.

This purine value is measured on DRY TEA LEAVES, not brewed tea. A cup of brewed green tea (~200 mL) uses about 2g of dry leaves, yielding only a few mg of purines in the cup. Brewed green tea is low-purine. Do not interpret this entry as the risk level of a cup of tea. Source: USDA Purine DB 2025; Kaneko et al. (2014).

How much can I eat?
