Mushrooms (shiitake, dried)
Also listed as: Mushrooms, shiitake, dried
Mushrooms (shiitake, dried) 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.
Value is per 100g of dried shiitake. Dried mushrooms are rehydrated before cooking and swell several-fold; a normal serving uses only a few grams dry, so the eaten amount is well below this concentrated per-100g figure.
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 3 g, which delivers 9 mg of purines, about 2% of a normal day's purine budget.
Why grade A
Low risk in a typical serving. A great everyday choice for a gout-friendly diet.
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Very high for gout (> 300 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
These are plant purines. Research links purines from vegetables, legumes, and mushrooms far more weakly to gout flares than purines from meat and seafood, so the per-100g figure overstates the real risk here.
