Role in food

Manufacturers use vegetable puree to add flavor, color, texture, and nutritional value to foods. …

What it is

Vegetable puree is made by grinding or blending vegetables into a smooth, thick liquid or paste. It can be made from a single vegetable or a combination, and the vegetables can be cooked or raw. This process concentrates the vegetable's flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use vegetable puree to add flavor, color, texture, and nutritional value to foods. It is commonly found in soups, sauces, baby foods, frozen meals, and baked goods. Purees can also act as a binder or thickener.

Health notes

Vegetable puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar vegetable-based ingredients. Evidence suggests that consuming a variety of vegetables, including those used in purees, is associated with good health.

Allergen info

Vegetable puree is not a major allergen. However, if the puree is made from vegetables that are cross-contaminated with allergens during growing or processing, it could pose a risk. Gluten is not typically present unless the vegetables are processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains.
