Why is straining especially useful after blending food?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To remove lumps, seeds and fibrous particles for a smooth, uniform consistency
Blending may leave behind seeds, skins, fibres, or small lumps. Straining removes these coarse particles and produces a smoother, more uniform preparation, which can support safer swallowing for selected patients. It does not remove all moisture, add salt, or make the food firm; nutritional losses should also be considered.
