Even while physicians advise gout sufferers to have a diet heavy in greens, several fruits and vegetables, such as asparagus, mushrooms, peas, spinach, and cauliflower, are high in purines. Although eating these veggies, along with dried fava and garbanzo beans, may not be as likely to cause an attack as eating other problematic foods, doctors may advise against doing so out of an abundance of caution.
