Hi Christine:
Caulifower is moderately high in purines (51 mg /100 grams). Purines cause gout. The gout could have been caused by my degrading health condition that made me susceptible to gout. Too much uric acid also contributes to gout. The combo of purines from the cauli & uric acid from the apples created a "perfect storm" for gout . (I have stage 4 Breast Cancer too. ) I was eating 2 apples a day & riced cauli for dinner & not much else. I needed to be eating some protein , but I was afraid to. I was probably dehydrated as well. (It is better to be careful than sorry to get gout.) The cauli & apples are fine as long as you are eating other stuff too. Keeping hydrated is also advised.
I didn't mean to scare you,Christine.
Best of luck,
