Judaism and foodJudaism is the original of the three Abrahamic faiths, which also includes Christianity and Islam.
Jews, believe they are a child of a Jewish mother. A Jew can’t lose their status of being a Jew and
someone that isn’t born a Jew can convert to one but it is very hard.
Jewish food laws
All fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, beans and legumes are kosher. To be considered kosher, animals
must fall into one of the following categories, and meet certain requirements: mammals that have
split hooves and chew their cud (including cows, sheep, goats, bison and deer) are all kosher. Fish
must have fins and removable scales to be considered kosher. Milk and eggs from kosher animals is
kosher. Eggs must generally be checked to ensure they do not contain blood, which is not kosher. Of
the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be slaughted in accordance with Jewish
law. Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten. Certain animals may not be eaten at all.
These include pigs, reptiles, shellfish, rabbits etc. All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled
out of it before it is eaten. Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Eggs,
fruits, vegetables and grains are considered pareve or neutral and can be eaten with either meat or
dairy. Fish is also considered pareve, but some kosher observant Jews do not cook or eat with meat.
Utensils that have come into contact with meat (while hot) may not be used with dairy, and vice
versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non- kosher food (while hot) may not be used with
kosher food. Grape products (including juice and wine) must be produced by Jews to be considered
kosher. Eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains should be eaten with either meat or some sort of dairy.
