Mashed fruit refers to fruit that has been crushed, ground, or blended into a smooth, pulpy consistency. The texture can range from slightly chunky to completely smooth, depending on the method used and the type of fruit. The flavor profile naturally depends on the fruit used; it could be sweet like mashed bananas or berries, tangy like mashed apples or citrus, or a combination of flavors. Mashed fruit is often used as a healthy and natural sweetener, a flavor enhancer, or as a base for sauces, purees, and baked goods. The color will vary depending on the fruit, ranging from vibrant reds and purples to yellows and greens. It is a versatile ingredient, excellent for baby food, desserts, and even savory dishes.

Mashed fruit should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. It is best consumed within 3-5 days. For longer storage, mashed fruit can be frozen. Divide it into portion-sized containers or freezer bags, leaving some headspace for expansion. Frozen mashed fruit can last for several months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
