Summary
Table of contents
- Kosher food means food that is acceptable under the laws defined by Jewish tradition.
- Kosher determines not only the products that are forbidden and allowed to be eaten, but also the interactions between the various ingredients in the food and the time it can be eaten.
- Also important is how kosher food is produced or prepared, and the people involved in the process.
- Among the rules, the key ones are the species of animals from which meat can be obtained, the rules for ritual slaughter, and the separation of meat and dairy.
- The koshering of food is not indicative of its health benefits, but of the discipline to which adherents of Judaism are subject.
