1st of all, kosher are not people and people are not kosher. The Jewish people keep kosher, a set of dietary laws in the Torah (Jewish bible) People who keep kosher can only eat animals that have split hooves and chew their cud, that are killed in a certain way. They can only eat fish with scales and fins. Nowadays, if you are buying something in a store, kosher products will have a kosher symble on them-showing that they are indeed kosher.

In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are given in detail in the Talmud volume of Chullin.

* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef and mutton)

* Fish have to have scales and fins. Shellfish are not kosher.

* Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey.

* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as having been prepared in the kosher manner.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.

* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.
