You can get gout from legumes. Purines are in most foods, and I believe legumes (peas peanuts and soy) are moderate sources.
Here is a table:

Notice theobromine? That is in tea and chocolate/cocoa.
I have read that food is not the only contributor. When white cells are destroyed in the body they release purines too. Some people get gout attacks when getting over an infectious illness.
Or trauma where tissue is damaged. These are the people who have metabolic problems with purine metabolism.
