What is a Kosher Diet?
"Kosher," which is derived from the Hebrew root "kashér," means to be pure or suitable for consumption. A kosher diet follows the strict dietary guidelines as outlined in traditional Jewish law. This includes the exclusion of certain foods, and specific food combining principles. For example, meat and dairy are forbidden to be eaten together in a single meal.
There are three main kosher food categories. These include: Meat (meat and poultry and their bones, bone broths, and gelatin); Dairy (cow, goat, and sheep milk and their products); and Pareve (foods that are not meat including eggs, fish, and plant foods).
Kosher diet rules:
- Excludes ALL forms of pork
- Excludes rabbit, squirrel, and camel meat
- Meat and poultry can NOT be combined with any dairy foods
- Pareve foods are neutral and can be eaten with meat or dairy
- Dairy products must be rennet-free
- Seafood is kosher if it has fins or scales (shellfish is NOT kosher)
