What is the diet Kosher

The kosher diet is a culinary framework governed by Jewish dietary laws called Kashrut. These rules dictate which foods are permissible and how they must be prepared and processed. A central pillar of this diet is the complete separation of meat and dairy, which can never be cooked, served, or eaten together.

Permissible animals, such as cattle and sheep, must have split hooves and chew their cud, and they must be slaughtered according to traditional ritual laws. Additionally, seafood is limited exclusively to fish with fins and scales, which strictly excludes shellfish like shrimp and lobster. Foods that contain neither meat nor dairy are known as pareve and can be eaten with either category.
