==What is a purée?==
'''Purée''' and (more rarely) mash are general terms for food, usually [[vegetables]] or [[legumes]], that have been ground, pressed, and/or strained to the consistency of a soft paste or thick liquid. Purées of specific foods are often known by specific names, e.g. [[mashed potatoes]] or [[apple sauce]].

Purées can be made in a [[blender]], or with special implements such as a [[potato masher]], or by forcing the food through a [[sieve]], or simply by crushing the food in a pot. Purées generally need cooking before or after grinding, in order to improve flavour and texture.
