Spice up your gout-friendly meals—without the guesswork. 🌶️

In this video, we cover how cayenne pepper can add flavor to low-purine dishes so it’s easier to cut back on salt and enjoy beans, veggies, and whole grains.

What you’ll learn:
• Are spices like cayenne purine-free? (yes)
• How much to use to start (⅛–¼ tsp per serving)
• Simple pairings you’ll actually cook: eggs, beans, roasted veggies, soups
• When to scale back (active flares, reflux, or sensitive stomach)

Why it matters:
• More flavor = easier to stick to a gout-conscious plan
• Lowering excess sodium can support overall health goals

Notes:
• Everyone’s tolerance is different—start small and observe.
• Not medical advice. If you have GI issues or take sensitive medications, check with your clinician.
