No figs don't contain purine. It has zero protein. It is not directly linked with uric acid but sometimes we restrict it due to diabetes because gout and diabetes both are metabolic disorder so in case of high uric acid the chances of getting diabetes is high.
Next Steps
if you have only high uric acid you can have figs but in a limited amount.
Health Tips

Hi,
Only figs are not responsible for the elevated uric acid levels. Healthy lifestyle, good water intake, physical activity, limiting animal protein etc. are also major factors to control uric acid. Figs do contain purine. Avoid or take in moderation.
