What is Pareve?

Pareve is a Hebrew word which denotes a food product as containing neither meat nor milk ingredients. This is important in the practice of kosher, where milk and meat cannot be mixed during a meal. A food that is marked as Pareve is therefore free from a great deal of dietary worry, as it can be combined with most other things safely

What is Glatt Kosher?

Glatt kosher is a higher kosher standard which is used when inspecting large animals such as cattle after slaughter to determine whether or not their meat i up to the standards of the Jewish dietary restrictions. In order to be considered glatt, when an animal's lungs are examined, they must be smooth and free of defects. If the lungs have adhesions, punctures, or other defects, the meat is considered not glatt.

There are situations in which meat may not be glatt, but it could still be kosher, but those are only possible within larger animals, smaller animals and fowl must always be glatt to be considered kosher. If chickens, ducks, calves, sheep, goats, deer, and so forth are not glatt, the meat is not kosher, and it cannot be eaten by Jews who adhere to kashrus, the Jewish dietary laws.

While the rules surrounding glatt kosher meat might seem a bit arcane, there is a solid logic behind them. “Glatt” is Yiddish for “smooth,” referencing the even appearance of the lungs of a glatt kosher animal. Lungs which are smooth and free from adhesions are more likely to be healthy, suggesting that the host animal was also healthy, and not exposed to harmful substances which could have damaged its lungs.

Kosher foods are those that conform to Jewish dietary laws. It is important  for the kosher consumer to ascertain that any foods eaten are kosher certified by a reliable supervision, since so many details are necessary in making a food conform to kashrus standards.

Glatt refers to meat from animals with smooth or defect-free lungs. In halachic terms, glatt is a very delicate, detailed concept. If one prefers to eat glatt kosher, one must be sure that a reliable rabbinic authority supervises the ‘glatt kosher’ standard.
