Etymology
The word 'kosher' originates from the Hebrew term 'כָּשֵׁר' (kasher), which means 'fit' or 'proper.' This term initially referred to anything that is deemed appropriate or suitable for use, particularly in a religious context. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote foods that conform to kashrut, the body of Jewish law that outlines dietary practices. The process of koshering involves a number of specific methods, including the salting of meat to remove blood and the separation of meat and dairy products. As Jewish communities spread globally, the term 'kosher' came to be recognized in broader societies, often associated with health and dietary practices. The concept reflects both cultural identity and religious observance, making it an integral part of Jewish dietary laws and traditions.
