Tofu (dried-frozen (koyadofu))

Also listed as: Tofu, dried-frozen (koyadofu)

Tofu (dried-frozen (koyadofu)) 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.

Koyadofu (freeze-dried tofu) concentrates protein and purines roughly 6-7x versus fresh tofu; the value is per 100g of the dry product. After rehydration a normal serving delivers far less. Fresh tofu is low-purine and gout-friendly.

Fructose here is a category-level estimate, not a direct measurement for this food.

How much can I eat?

A typical serving is about 17 g, which delivers 50 mg of purines, about 12% 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)

Purines confidence: medium
292.3 mg/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

High for gout (150–300 mg/100g).

Fructose confidence: medium (estimated)
0.3 g/100g
LowModerateHighVery high

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.
