Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I'd like to give my son some cooked strawberries in his yogurt but I'm not sure how to get rid of the seeds or if it is necessary. He has been on the diet for over a year. He is using nut butters, still cooked veggies and fruits and goat yogurt. Would it be a huge mistake to just puree the cooked strawberries as is and mix it in the yogurt or is there a way to get rid of the seeds....

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 my understanding is that you just cut/peel them away with a knife since the seeds are all on the outside of the strawberry. donna > I'd like to give my son some cooked strawberries in his yogurt but I'm > not sure how to get rid of the seeds or if it is necessary.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi TIA: I found that even when my daughter could tolerate the seeds, that deseeding still helped because strawberry seeds are so numerous and annoying once the strawberries are pureed. I cook the strawberries on low heat, in a saucepan, until they are mush. Then I force them through a very, very fine sieve. I have one that I got at a tag sale-I have a different, newer sieve and although the holes look microscopic, the strawberry seeds could still fit through. This works with other fruits as well: raspberries, blueberries, etc. I often use the puree and make frozen yogurt with a little added honey. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Whirl frozen strawberries around in the blender for a few seconds. It removes the skin and seeds wonderfully. whole family SCD 2 years Mom to Dakota (7--NF, CDD, BWS, seizures) and (5--happy, healthy, supportive little brother) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I make strawberry smoothies, if I let it sit for as bit I find most of the seeds sink to the bottom. If I don't my kids leave more in their cups because they don't like getting all the seeds at once.
