Kosher meals are made with kosher food ingredients. These items are given this title because they conform to the regulations in placed by Jewish dietary law known as kashrut. Foods that are allowed under these lawns are considered kosher, which loosely translates to fit. They are fit for human consumption.
The foods that do not fit with the Jewish law are known as treif. These foods and related rules are outlined in the books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. The reasons items may be treif including presence of ingredients derived from animals that are not kosher or animals that were not slaughtered in the proper manner. They might also be given this title if they are a mixture of milk and meat, grape juice or wine that has been produced without any supervision, produce that comes from Israel and has not been properly tithed or prepared using non-kosher cooking devices and utensils.
Rabbinic authorities assert that every law of the kashrut can be broken in situations where life is at stake. In the Jewish Bible it states that all animals that chew the cud and have cloven hooves are ritually clean, but animals that exclusively chew cud or only have hooves that are cloven are not. It identifies four animals considered unclean based on these guidelines: pig, camel, hyrax and hare.
The Torah says that winged creatures are not to be consumed, particularly bats, water birds that eat fish and birds of prey. Animals that live in water are okay to eat so long as it includes scales and fins. Furthermore, things that crawl on earth are not permitted, although bugs born in fruit that do not crawl on the ground are allowed.
When it comes to dairy products, milk that is from clean animals is allowed. Cheese is more complicated. Most hard cheese include rennet, an enzyme that splits milk into the curds and whey. Most of this is derived from the stomach linings of animals or it may be made recombinantly. If it is taken from clean animals or recombinantly, it may be accepted. Although being a product of animals, eggs are considered pareve. Gelatin may not be permitted depending on from where it is sourced.
Just as important as the foods that are consumed is how they are prepared. There is a lot of information available regarding what is allowed in cooking and preparing items. Those who are Jewish, consume a diet of these foods or enjoy making these types of meals likely know what is acceptable and what is not.
There may be some variations in the rules that govern this, as there are many differences among Jews and their practices Many Jewish recipes only feature foods that are believed to be fit for eating. As a result of this, most Jewish cookbooks are the best source for food prep and cooking information.
Jews are not the only people who only consume kosher meals. However, this is a system directly correlated to this religion. There are rules when it comes to cooking and food preparation, as well as the types of animals that can be consumed.
