HOMOGENIZED VEGETABLES

Homogenized vegetables are perfect for several reasons. Babies and small children can easily enjoy cooked vegetables with no additives. People with chewing or digestion problems can continue to enjoy the flavor of their favorite vegetables. Vegetable purees are a tasty and elegant addition to an entrée.

Assemble the Champion for homogenizing. If the vegetable is very moist, place a bowl beneath the screen holder as well as at the tapered end.
