Luffa contains a proper amount of purine, but it is not high. Purine is a substance that produces uric acid after metabolism in the body. Excessive uric acid can cause gout and uric acid crystallization. Gout is a joint disease, and uric acid crystals may form uric acid stones in the kidney.

Luffa contains a little purine, but its content is far lower than that of meat, fish, seafood and other foods. Therefore, if you are healthy and have no gout or uric acid stones, eating loofah in moderation will not cause uric acid problems. At the same time, Luffa is rich in nutritional value, containing vitamins, minerals and fiber.

However, if you have gout or uric acid stones and other related problems, it is best to consult a doctor or dietitian to determine whether it is suitable to eat loofah or other high-purine foods. Because for these specific groups, it may be necessary to limit the intake of purine.

Generally speaking, the purine content of loofah is relatively low, so normal people can eat it in moderation without worrying too much. Please consult a professional doctor if there are special circumstances.
