When it comes to purine content, all beans are not created equal. Dried black-eye peas, lentils and Great Northern beans have a higher concentration of purine at about 200 to 230 mg per 3 ½ ounce portions. Choose garbanzo and cranberry beans which have a low content of about 50 to 75 mg. Middle of the pack legumes include lima beans, split peas, red beans and pinto beans.
