The word kosher has been borrowed by many languages, including English. In its strictest meaning it means only "suitable according to Jewish law", but as slang it generally means legitimate, acceptable, permissible, genuine or authentic in a broader sense.

All plants are kosher, but not all animals, birds or fish. Animals must not only fit the criteria in Leviticus but must also be killed in a special manner and have all the blood removed before the meat can be eaten by Jews.

Kosher animals

There are two things that tell if an animal is kosher. Firstly its hooves are completely parted at the bottom to form two horny pads, and secondly if it chews the cud. Cows, sheep, goats and deer are the common animals that have both these features and so these are kosher. Pigs, whilst they do have split hooves do not chew the cud are so are not kosher, likewise camels while they chew the cud only have partially split hooves and so are also not kosher.

Cow/Sheep Camel Horse (Split hoof)
(Partially split hoof) (Non split hoof)

Kosher Poultry
There are no ways to recognise kosher birds. The bible gives a long list of birds that are not kosher. The Jews could thus eat any bird that is not on this list but in practice most only eat chicken, turkey and duck. Even these may be declared treyfah if they have defective internal organs.


Kosher foods
Goat Turkey All fish (as long as they have scales)
Cow
Sheep
Duck
Chicken


Non-Kosher foods
Insects
Rabbit
Pig
Camel
Octopus
Eel
Horse
Most birds especially birds of prey

All Vegetables and fruit are kosher, but they must be carefully checked for non-kosher foods like insects.

All dairy products are kosher (Must be bloodless), but it must be checked that the product does not contain any meat based products (for example many cheeses contain rennet which is made from the stomach of pigs or cows and thus breaks two of the kosher rules (i) that meat and diary must be separate and (ii) that products from the pig are treyfah). Also the kosher Jew must to sure that the milk is only from kosher animals (some farmers made a practice of topping up cow's milk with pig's milk - this would make the milk treyfah)

All shellfish is treyfah.

Keeping a kosher kitchen

Based on the verse "You must not cook a young goat in its mother's milk" (Exodus 23:19 et al), Jews who keep kosher kitchens do not eat meat and dairy foods together. Separate sets of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are used, and in an orthodox home these will be cleaned in separate sinks and kept in separate cupboards. Often to help they will be different colours. After eating meat strict Jews will wait several hours before eating dairy products.

Foods which contain neither meat nor milk, fruit and vegetables, may be eaten with either meat or vegetables. These foods are known as parev or parve.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://tinyurl.im/aHLth

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

meat that is considered kosher is meat from an animal that has split hooves and chews its cud... even though it is not usual today to for kosher consumers to eat the meat of all the animals that meet that criteria (a giraffe is a kosher animal), they must meet those criteria to be kosher

because it is expensive to take out the nervous system that goes to the back leg of an animal, the back quarters of even a kosher animal isn't available to people who adhere... no T-bones for us *sigh*

even if the animal is considered a kosher one, ie a cow, it still must be slaughtered ritualistically in order to maintain its kosherness

fish must have fins and scales and not be a scavenger... for a bird or fowl to be kosher, it must not be a bird of prey

a kosher meal would be one that does not contain meat and dairy. the more stringent will even hand inspect their veggies for insects and meat and dairy will not have been cooked in the same pot even at different times... kosher kitchens have two sets of everything... pots, dishes, silverware... glass doesn't absorb food though and can be used if necessary for either

Answer 10

Kosher foods are those that meet certain criteria of Jewish law. Invalidating characteristics may range from the presence of a mixture of meat and milk, to the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed properly, or even the use of cooking utensils which had previously been used for non-kosher food. For an in-depth discussion of this tradition, see kashrut.

Kashrut or Kashruth, Kashrus (Hebrew: כַּשְרוּת kašrûṯ) or "keeping kosher" (Hebrew: כָּשֵר kāšēr) is the name of the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Hebrew term kashér, meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption by observant Jews).

Food not in accord with Jewish law is termed treifah or tareif (טְרֵפָה ṭərēp̄āh) ("torn"); the term originally referred to animals (from a kosher species such as cattle or sheep) which had been either incorrectly slaughtered or mortally wounded by wild beasts and therefore were not fit for human consumption. Among Sephardim, it typically only refers to meat that is not kosher.

The basic laws of kashrut are in the Torah's Book of Leviticus, with their details set down in the oral law (the Mishnah and the Talmud) and codified by the Shulkhan Arukh and later rabbinical authorities. Many varied reasons have been offered for these laws, ranging from philosophical and ritualistic, to practical and hygienic; see below for examples and explanations.

The word kosher has been borrowed by many languages, including English. In its strictest meaning it means only "suitable according to Jewish law", but as slang it generally means legitimate, acceptable, permissible, genuine or authentic in a broader sense.

Hope this helps! :-)
