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.
Good to know: Spinach is a moderate-to-high purine vegetable, but purines from plants raise gout risk much less than purines from meat/seafood. Considered safe in normal portions under current gout dietary guidance.
