What are the 5 kosher foods?

Answer 1

There is no single list of kosher foods as creating such a list would be impossible. Kosher isn't a style of food, it is a title given to any food that is prepared following the laws of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws).

For example, macaroni and cheese can be kosher if it is made in a kosher kitchen using kosher ingredients. The same is true for chow mein, which is Chinese in origin, but again, can be made with kosher ingredients.

Answer 2

Kosher products are not just traditional Jewish foods. Kosher products are any food item that meets the Jewish laws of kashrut. Certain rules have to be followed. For example, dairy products and meat products cannot mixed be together.

Examples of foods that can be kosher, so long as they're prepared and handled following the laws of kashrut are: eggs, vegetables, kosher species of fish/animals/birds, dairy products, etc.
Much easier to list examples of non-kosher food:

-- pork

-- shellfish

-- rodents

-- insects

-- meat not slaughtered and prepared in compliance with appropriate laws and standards

-- processed foods containing ingredients derived from any of the previous 5 items

-- processed foods containing both dairy and meat derivatives

-- foods processed on machinery/utensils that are also used to process any of the previous 7 items

Answer 3

This is the same answer that I gave to a previous Question:

Ham, Bacon, and foods with Gelatin (for example, most marshmallows have gelatin If you don't know it is kosher, for sure stay away from any meat, even cow meat, as it must be properly slaughtered. unfortunately you never know these days. Food chemists have come up with some pretty nasty (although they may taste good) derivatives of animals to put in food. For example, sorry if this is a bit gross, but it is true: a strawberry soda wanted a kosher designation, but there was a little problem - they used beaver guts as a flavoring! on a more appetizing note, most Jews that keep kosher will drink milk in the united states (and only there) without a kosher symbol. everywhere else, it needs a reliable kosher symbol. why is the US different? well, the FDA strongly regulates what kind of milk can be sold, and if a company is caught selling milk other than cow milk, they will be risking getting shutdown, or worse. Fish must have fins and scales. If kosher food was cooked together with non-kosher food, it is not kosher any more!

Answer 4

Food is kosher so long as it is prepared following the laws of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws).

Names of some food items that can potentially be kosher (so long as they're handled correctly) are: eggs, milk, vegetables, beef, and chicken.

Answer 5

A list of non kosher items is very long. The list would include most winged animals, most hoofed animals, and all creeping things. Non kosher involves meat that is cooked with dairy.

Answer:

It's easier to list what is kosher than what is not.

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.
