Information All About Kosher Meals

By Allyson Burke


While at times people consider Kosher meals as a religious decision, there are some common people that have adapted to this way of living. This method is often very strict in what it allows for consumption. The term, "kosher, " simply refers to being pure. Eating this food will result in fitness of the body. There are many approaches to this diet and this article will help gain some insight on what is allowed.

There are certain rules when it comes to meat. The only type of meats that can be consumed are cattle or game. These animals are required to have cloven hooves and chew the cud. These two requirements must apply to the animal in order for it to be consumed. Some examples of the proper kinds of animals are bulls, cows, sheep, lambs and goats. There is also a rule when it comes to how the animal is slaughtered. It must be done by a ritual slaughterer. The Jewish law does not allow any pain to come to an animal, so this certain type of slaughterer will ensure that happens in the whole process.

After the animal is slaughtered, the forbidden fats and veins will be removed. Then the meat will be soaked in a tub of water before it is transferred to a salting table. It will sit at that table for at least an hour to draw out the blood.

There are some birds that cannot be eaten. Goose, duck, chicken and turkey are alright for consumption on this diet. They are considered to be traditionally kosher. When it comes to fish, the only ones allowed are the ones with scales and fins.

Any milk that is for consumption has to be from a kosher certified animal. Anything that is dairy cannot have ingredients in it that are not allowed on this diet. One cannot mix meat product with milk product. An example of that combination is cheese since it is combined with animal fats.

The Torah states that one cannot even combine milk and meat together, whether it be in consumption or cooking. Being that this is such a strict law, the consumer can not even drink milk for a certain time period after eating meat products.

There are food items that are grown on trees and in the soil. These items are considered fine for eating if on this diet plan. These products are carefully looked over before they are eaten just in case an animal or insect that is not allowed is on the food item. If the tree was planted three years ago, the fruit off that tree will not be allowed to eat anymore.

Such a major percentage of the food available to humans today is not kosher friendly. This creates such a problem for this industry and for the people who live by this law. This diet has its pros and cons. Kosher meals sound really hard to live by, but once one adjusts to them, it is a way of living. To find out more about this diet, one may research the internet or ask someone that is familiar with it. There are so many rules to it so it is best to find out the most information possible before attempting the plan.
