Pureed diet
Pureed diet is a texture-modified diet that is primarily tailored towards people who have significant trouble swallowing or chewing solid foods. Various reasons for swallowing and chewing problems exist, such as poorly-fitting dentures, missing teeth or mouth pain[1] or other problems such as trouble fully breaking down solid foods.[2] Pureed diet may also be used when the person has lost perception of touch in their lips, tongue or other parts of mouth.[3] Detox diet and weight loss advocats may also promote pureed diet.[4] The consistency of pureed diet is quite similar to the consistency of mousse.[1] Pureed foods are foods that have been either strained, pressed or grounded.[2] There are mainly three different devices used for pureed diet, which are; food processor, mixer[4] and immersion blender.[5] To maximize the smoothness of the food, the usage of food processor is recommended over other options.[4]
