Bringing back the pleasure of eating

A dreaded ailment among carers, food going down “the wrong way” remains a condition whose mechanisms are counterintuitive: almost two-thirds of these airway obstructions occur after eating a blended meal.

By reintroducing solids, the Harmonie Textures culinary approach is based on the recommendations of specialists and makes chewing a pleasurable experience, through tasty recipes and texture-rich foods.
