Yes. Anything grown from the ground is kosher. It is only when you start messing with the stuff and altering it that issues might arise.

Answer:Yes, with the following two strictures:

1) Fruits and vegetables should be checked to see that they are free of insects. Jews aren't permitted to eat insects.

2) Fruits and vegetables grown in Israel must have Hafrashat Terumot Uma'asrot (they must be tithed according to halakha). Either purchase Israeli fruits and vegetables that have Rabbinical certification, or do the procedure yourself. The details of the procedure can be accessed from the attached Related Question. They are complicated, so you may want to consult a knowledgeable person the first time.

Fruits and vegetables grown outside of Israel do not have to be tithed.

Yes, unless the individual is a vegetarian. Judaism does not prohibit eating meat other than restrictions on which animals are allowed. According to Jewish law, land animals must have split hooves and chew their cud.

They can only eat grape products made by other Jews.

Answer 2

That answer is incorrect. The question asked about grapes, not something else. I am an Orthodox rabbi and am versed in the Torah-laws. Grapes are permitted without restriction.

Processed foods, such as grape jelly, need a certification of being kosher just like any other processed food. Various foods may have different kosher-laws that apply, such as which fish are kosher species, how meat was slaughtered, the sources of Gelatin or rennet, etc.

"Being kosher" does not necessarily mean "being made by Jews." Rather, it means being manufactured with supervision to assure that the ingredients and vessels are permitted. This is often done in factories that are owned and staffed by non-Jews.

It is true, however, that the kosher-laws have special stringencies for wine and Grape Juice.

Yes, provided that the vegetables are collected in such a way as to avoid capturing insects. Jews love vegetables from zucchini to eggplant to carrots to mushrooms (etc.).

Yes, without restriction. In Israel, certain Torah-laws apply (tithing [maasrot], Shemittah, Orlah).

There are no restrictions in the laws of kashrut (kosher eating) on vegetables. So, Jews generally find ways to eat whatever vegetables that are locally available. There are some vegetables with special connections to certain Jewish holidays. Potato pancakes are popular on Hanukkah and horseradish has a special place at many Passover Seders.
