PUREED VEGETABLE Meaning and
Definition
-
A pureed vegetable refers to a preparation method in which vegetables are blended or processed into a smooth and uniform texture, often resembling a thick liquid or paste-like consistency. This method is typically used as a cooking technique to transform whole vegetables into a more easily digestible and visually appealing form.
To create a pureed vegetable, the vegetables are typically cooked until they are tender, and then they are transferred to a blender, food processor, or similar appliance. The vegetables are then blended or processed until smooth, with any lumps or solids being thoroughly broken down and incorporated into the mixture. This method may require the addition of liquid, such as water, vegetable broth, or cream, to achieve the desired consistency.
Pureed vegetables can be made from a wide range of vegetables, including but not limited to carrots, peas, broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. These purees can be used in various culinary applications, such as soups, sauces, side dishes, baby food, and as an ingredient in baking recipes.
This method is often employed for individuals with swallowing difficulties or for babies transitioning to solid foods, as the smooth and uniform texture makes it easier to consume and digest. Additionally, pureed vegetables retain much of their original nutritional content, making them a suitable option for those seeking to incorporate more vegetables into their diet.
