Nuts and gout: which to pick, which to skip
'Honey-roasted' and glazed nuts add a fructose sweetener — so we read each label. We read the full ingredient list of 6 nuts & seeds and scored each for gout specifically: 4 rate as a pick, 2 to limit or skip, and 4 carry a hidden trigger (HFCS, fructose or yeast extract) we flag by position.
