Vegetable puree

Vegetable purée is vegetables blended or mashed to a smooth consistency. In the puréed form described here, it provides fat, carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 4.4g of fat, 4.3g of carbohydrate, 3.6g of protein and 3g of salt.

Its salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Salt contributes sodium to the diet, and eating too much salt can raise blood pressure. The purée also contains potassium, which supports normal nerve and muscle function. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (6 samples, 3 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994.
