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 holy book of Jewish religion only allows animals who eat from the plants on the ground and have definitive hooves. Due to these characteristics, rabbits, pigs, camels and the hyrax are forbidden for consumption according to the guidelines. Birds of prey are also forbidden, and water birds that consume fish are forbidden for consumption.

Species of fish that have fins as well a fish are permitted for consumption. Some insects are also allowed to be eaten, such as beetles, a couple types of locusts, and grasshoppers. All other crawling and flying insects are expressly forbidden for the Jewish population.

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.

Most ancient scriptures are unanimous when voting that the milk produced by animals whose flesh is labelled kosher, is also considered a permitted food. All animals who are found to have been afflicted with a disease before slaughter is considered to be forbidden, and therefore any milk from this animal is sometimes also considered unlawful for consumption. However, some scriptures dictate that since the animal itself is considered to be from the permitted section, it is often ruled as a permitted food.

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.
