Kosher foods

Jewish Kosher Food
Kosher = Food which is allowed, Jewish dietary requirements
Treyfah = Food which is NOT allowed
In Leviticus, it says all plants are kosher, but not all animals, birds, or fish are.
Animals must also be killed in a special manner and have all the blood removed before the meat can be eaten by Jews.
How are animals killed?
Jews may only eat animals and birds that have been killed by Shechitah.
Shechitah is killing the animals by slitting the throat with a very sharp knife.
This has been shown to be painless to the animals, as causing pain to living things is against Jewish law.
The theory is that the sharp knife cuts the carotid so that the animal loses consciousness before they are able to feel pain.
Which animals are Kosher?
Kosher:
• chicken
• sheep
• cow
• fish with fins
• goat
Non- Kosher:
• pig
• rabbit
