Etymology
The word 'puree' comes from the French 'purée', which is derived from the word 'pur' meaning 'pure' or 'clean'. The usage of puree dates back to the late 19th century, referring primarily to food preparation techniques aimed at creating smooth textures. As culinary practices evolved, pureeing became a common method for enhancing flavors and making food more accessible, particularly for infants and individuals with dietary restrictions or chewing difficulties. Over time, the term has grown to include various types of pureed foods, such as sauces and soups, in many different cuisines around the world. This reflects the broader trends in food preparation that emphasize texture and presentation.
