Puréed Foods for Swallowing Problems

Wendy J. Dahl

Puréed foods are prepared by mashing, grinding, or chopping food until a very fine, smooth texture is achieved. Mashed potatoes, squash, and pumpkin pie filling are examples of puréed foods. Although we all enjoy puréed foods as a part of a healthy diet, puréed diets may be recommended for frail people who have chewing and/or swallowing problems.

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.
