Savor Korea's Ocean Delights: A Low-Purine Seafood Guide
Craving Korean seafood but managing gout or kidney health? Navigating menus packed with high-purine shellfish and broths can feel daunting. At popular Korean seafood spots, hidden triggers like shrimp, crab roe, and anchovy-based stews could derail your wellness goals. But with the MM Food app, you can confidently enjoy authentic flavors without the worry.
Why Purines Matter in Korean Seafood
Purines break down into uric acid, which causes painful flare-ups for sensitive individuals. Korean cuisine features many high-purine staples:
- π« Avoid: Mussels, scallops, anchovy broth, shrimp, dried fish
- β Safer Picks: Seaweed salads, cucumber dishes, non-broth soups, or dishes with moderate crab
