Kosher Meals Are The New Ticket To Good Health

By Dorothy Fisher


These days, it's impossible to miss the thousands of adverts that promote the benefits of nutritional eating and exercise in order to become healthier. There are so many diets and guidelines to follow that people don't know which one to follow, because they are all contradictory. The good news is that kosher meals are the perfect balance of healthy eating and traditionally prepared food, so you don't have to countless hours of research for the eating plan that has inspired millions to become healthier.

The basis of this eating plan is derived from the Jewish holy book, which governs all the aspects about food consumption. There are lists which dictate which food products are unlawful for consumption, and then there are food products which are allowed to be consumed. Included in this guide is the correct way of preparing the food, as there are certain methods to be maintained to sanctify the lawfulness of the food.

The Jewish holy book refers to animals with hooves, and animals that eat from the vegetation on the ground as the only land animals fit for consumption. Due to this distinctive description, the four main animals that are forbidden are rabbits, camels, hyrax and pigs. Birds that prey on other animals and water birds that feed on fish are also forbidden for consumption.

Any fish species that live in a body of water and have both scales and fins are allowed to be eaten. There are a couple of locust species which are also allowed, and also, the beetle, and grasshoppers. All other flying or creeping insects are forbidden for the Jewish people.

In order to maintain the sanctity of this practice, preparation techniques have been developed to ensure the meat is completely free of blood and fit for consumption. One of these methods involve the meat being soaked in water for about thirty minutes, and this will open the pores of the meat and allow for the blood's escape. When this is complete, the meat is put on top of a board and covered with a thick layer of salt, which absorbs the salt and thereby making the food fit for consumption.

There are many scriptures that dictate laws about the lawfulness of food that contradict each other, but all the scriptures are unanimous in announcing that milk derived from an animal which is considered to be lawful, is also permitted for consumption. Exemptions are made for that milk which is derived from an animal which is discovered to have been suffering from a disease prior to slaughtering, as this is against the laws of the holy book. However, some concessions have been known to be made for these situations.

Some scholars argue that gelatin is not permitted due to the fact that it is derived from the tissue of an animal. Others argue that the gelatin has undergone a massive chemical change and thereafter processed, so it is not considered to be a meat product. It is very simple to simply substitute the gelatin with other products that are available for binding.

Try these meals today and feel the difference in your health and gain an insight into the fascinating world of Jewish tradition.
