pureed food

Pureed food consists of foods that have been blended or mashed into a smooth, uniform texture without lumps or chunks. This preparation makes it easier to swallow, especially for individuals with swallowing difficulties or those recovering from illness or surgery. The pureeing process maintains the nutritional content while providing a soft, easily manageable consistency. Common examples include pureed fruits, vegetables, and meats, often used in medical nutrition or for people with specific dietary needs. The goal is to ensure safe swallowing while preserving flavor and nutrients.
