Thick & Easy FAQ's
How is pureed food made?
Our purees are pre-prepared meals that allow you to conveniently microwave and serve food, no blender required. Here’s how they work: Real food is blended into a mashed potato-like consistency. Unlike thin purees, this thicker consistency prevents pureed food from running down the throat and into the lungs Liquid is bound to food pulp during the pureeing process, meaning that liquid won’t separate from the food and become difficult to swallow These meals are designed to be healthy, tasty, and easy to use.
Are Thick-It Purees Kosher?
No, these purees do not qualify as Kosher.
Do Thick-It foods have to be cooked?
Thick-It meals are pre-cooked and ready to reheat and serve. Both stovetop and microwave are options to reheat. Microwave for 30 to 60 seconds on high or stovetop until warm. Stir, let cool 1 minute, and you’re ready to serve!
Is it healthy to eat pureed food?
Pureed meals are a great option for those who need nutrition, but can’t have solid foods. Pureed diets provide more fiber, nutrients, and variety compared to that of a liquid diet.
