Pureed food is a type of food that has been blended or mashed to a smooth consistency, making it easy to swallow and digest. This form of food is often recommended for individuals with difficulty chewing or swallowing, such as the elderly or those recovering from surgery. Common examples of pureed foods include fruits, vegetables, soups, and meats. These foods can be prepared using a blender or food processor, allowing for a variety of flavors and nutrients while ensuring safety and comfort for those with dietary restrictions.
