Kosher certification is a process by which food producers and manufacturers ensure their food complies with a strict set of dietary rules in Jewish law. ORB, which stands for the Orthodox Rabbinical Board, is a renowned organization that provides kosher certification in South Florida. When you see an ORB Kosher Certification, it’s more than just a label; it signifies a promise of quality and integrity in food preparation in line with Jewish dietary laws.
Kosher foods, in essence, meet the requirements set forth in the Jewish legal texts. Certain foods are deemed permissible (“kosher”), while others are not. But kosher laws extend beyond mere food types to include guidelines on food preparation and processing, and even the utensils used. Kosher meat, for example, comes from animals that are both ritually slaughtered and ruminants with split hooves, like cows and sheep. Shellfish and pork, conversely, are not kosher.
Well, kosher foods are known for their meticulous preparation process which often results in high sanitary standards. For those with dietary restrictions, allergies, or certain health conditions, kosher foods provide a trustworthy and safe option. But it's not just about the regulations - at The Friendship Grill, our devotion to crafting sumptuous kosher meals results in dishes that are as flavorful and satisfying as they are compliant with kosher laws.
At our Fort Lauderdale restaurant, you'll find an array of kosher delights. From our signature falafel served in a pita, wrap, bowl, or plate to the beloved shawarma and schnitzel, each dish is a testament to our dedication to quality and authenticity.
So here’s the thing – kosher food isn’t necessarily healthier… It’s not lower in calories or higher in vitamins or anything like that. BUT! The strict rules around how it’s prepared means you get seriously high sanitation standards, and that’s a real blessing for diners!
Did you know that kosher laws ensure that animals are treated humanely and even have specific slaughtering practices to minimize pain? That’s why some folks opt for kosher meat as a more ethical choice.
As we wrap up this kosher journey, let’s revisit why you should visit The Friendship Grill.
