Spoon Test for Puréed Food
Wendy J. Dahl and Jamila R. Lepore
Proper texture is the priority when preparing purées. A puréed food should have a uniform texture that is "spoon thick" and should not require any chewing. It should not be too dry, sticky, lumpy, or thin/runny. Adjustments in thickness may be made according to an individual's specific needs.
