How to Thicken and Flavor Pureed Foods

Instead of spending hours pureeing and flavoring your own foods, try a more convenient option, Thick-It® Purees. Thick-It® Purees are convenient and versatile fully cooked comfort foods that will satisfy your taste buds and your nutritional needs. If Thick-It® Purees aren’t available, simply add Thick-It® Instant Food and Beverage Thickener or Thick-It®2 Instant Food and Beverage Thickener for safe, thickened homemade pureed foods.

Puree Vegetables


Pureed Vegetables

Pureed Vegetables: 4 ounces of pureed carrots, green beans, wax beans, peas, tomatoes and winter squash can achieve the desired  consistency with 1 tablespoon of Thick-It® Instant Food and Beverage Thickener or 2 teaspoons of Thick-It®2 Instant Food and Beverage Thickener. Flavor with your favorite seasonings to make them taste more like the comfort foods you enjoy.
