Peanut is considered a legume, its purine content however relatively is low (less than 50 mg per 100 grams) compared to other legumes like lentils, peas & beans. These have 50-150 mg purine per 100 grams. Therefore gout sufferers can include the use of peanut & peanut butter into their diet. They need to remember though that nuts & nut butters are high in fat, and should be eaten in moderation because of that.
