What Is Kosher Candy?
Remaining kosher, following certain dietary restrictions that make a food clean or unclean in the eyes of Jews, is a major part of Judaism. These restrictions pertain to every aspect of their culinary tradition, even candy.
Animal Products
-
Any animal products, such as gelatin, from non-kosher animals automatically makes the candy non-kosher. Only if milk is readied according to kosher laws can it be used in kosher candy.
Tithed
-
If ingredients are coming directly from Israel, they must be tithed to be used in kosher candy. Tithing is the process of removing a little over 1 percent of the product, reciting certain passages from the Torah, and discarding the removed portion.
Equipment
-
Any equipment or utensils that have been used for non-kosher foods cannot be used in making kosher candy. As soon as intended kosher candy touches a non-kosher tool, it automatically is no longer able to be consumed by those following Jewish dietary laws.
