why does cauliflower is high in purines while broccoli is not? thank you :)

Accepted Answer

Found in all living: organisms, purines are necessary to build genetic material/DNA. Protein foods are the richest sources of purine, but some fruits/vegetables have higher amounts as well.

BTW, cauliflower is moderate purine food, along with spinach, mushrooms, corn..
