vegetable purees

Smooth mashed vegetables

Vegetable purees are vegetables that have been cooked and blended into a smooth, thick paste.

They serve as baby food, soup bases, sauces, or side dishes: butternut squash puree, carrot puree.

Purees can also thicken dishes or add nutrition without visible vegetables—useful for picky eaters.
