Is beef liver high in purines?
In short: Smart Gout Care estimates ≈ 300 mg of purines in a typical 120 g serving of beef liver (≈ 250 mg per 100 g), with no added sugar. That is more purines per 100 g than 99% of the 2,045 dishes in the app, and the app rates a serving Higher load.
| Typical serving | 120 g |
|---|---|
| Purines per serving | ≈ 300 mg |

About beef liver
Organ meat with among the highest purine contents of common foods.
What about smaller or larger portions?
In the app you can set the portion to small, medium or large. The purine estimate scales with the weight:
| Portion | Weight | Purines |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 96 g | ≈ 240 mg |
| Medium (typical) | 120 g | ≈ 300 mg |
| Large | 156 g | ≈ 390 mg |
What does the load badge mean?
The badge compares one typical portion with the daily reference amounts set in the app. A portion is estimated to use more than two thirds of a day's purine or added-sugar reference. It is a rough guide to the size of a portion's share, not a rule about what to eat.
Where do these numbers come from?
These are Smart Gout Care's own estimates for a typical serving of Beef Liver, the same figures the app shows for this dish. They are rounded on purpose: published laboratory tables often disagree for the same food, sometimes by two times or more, depending on the sample, the species and the method. For measured values and their sources, see Purines in Meat and Offal: Chicken, Red Meat, Liver, Ham.
