Food Textures

The most appropriate food texture depends on your individual swallowing and chewing abilities. If you have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or have been advised to follow a modified texture diet, we recommend consulting your speech-language pathologist, physician, or other qualified healthcare professional. They can assess your needs and advise you on the appropriate food texture and consistency. We offer a range of pureed, ground, and minced food options to accommodate different food texture preferences and requirements. However, we are a food provider and cannot assess your swallowing ability, provide medical advice, or recommend which texture level is suitable for you. Your safety is important to us. Please seek professional guidance before purchasing or consuming modified texture foods if you have swallowing difficulties.

Pureed foods are processed to a smooth, mashed potato-like consistency. Pureed foods should keep their shape when heated, not become runny or difficult to maintain a solid, smooth texture (creamy really). If any food does not puree into a smooth consistency, it may make eating or swallowing more difficult for the consumer. If there is any question to the smoothness or pureed texture, do not consume if on a pureed diet. Ground/Minced foods are blended to ground/minced texture and are no larger than 4mm for adults. We may be more conservative than many other vendors or those that recommend a textured diet. We want our customers to enjoy their meals, and texture, with no worries. The appropriate texture needs to be professionally assessed, and even foods within the same broad category can have different consistencies.
