Purine is the root of gout, but onions are not high-purine food. People with a history of gout can eat onions.
Foods with high purine content mainly include animal viscera, meat, seafood, bean products, mushrooms and so on. It is suggested that gout patients must have a low purine diet. Low purine foods mainly include vegetables and fruits, so you should drink plenty of water at ordinary times. The recommended daily drinking amount is 2000ML.

Medicinal value of onion;
1, cancer prevention. Onions are rich in selenium and quercetin. Selenium is an antioxidant, which can stimulate human immune response, thus inhibiting the division and growth of cancer cells and reducing the toxicity of carcinogens. Quercetin can inhibit the activity of carcinogenic cells and prevent the growth of cancer cells. According to a survey, people who often eat onions are 25% less likely to develop gastric cancer and 30% less likely to die of gastric cancer than those who don't eat onions.
2. Maintain cardiovascular health. Quercetin, which is rich in onion, has high bioavailability. Scientists report that quercetin may help prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and provide important protection for atherosclerosis.
3, stimulate appetite and help digestion. Onions contain allicin, which has a strong aroma. When processing, it often makes people cry because of its pungent smell. It is this special smell that can stimulate gastric acid secretion and increase appetite. Animal experiments have also proved that onion can improve gastrointestinal tension and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus playing an appetizing role, and has obvious curative effect on anorexia caused by atrophic gastritis, insufficient gastric motility and dyspepsia.
