Recommendations

It is important to bear in mind that the appropriate amount of thickening agent can vary depending on the brand used. Thus, it should be added gradually until the desired texture is achieved. Be sure to check that all the purées have the same texture.

We recommend using ripe fruit. In case of mucositis, substitute acidic fruits and juices (kiwi, strawberries, orange, and lemon) with other more suitable fruits.
