What does Kosher mean? Kosher is not a style of cooking, nor does it imply that food is blessed in some way by a Rabbi. The Hebrew word Kosher means, fit, correct or proper. The term Kosher has become synonymous with purity, quality and high standards of food preparation.   The process of certification does not involve "blessing" the food; rather, it involves examining the ingredients used to make the food, examining the process by which the food is prepared, and periodically inspecting the processing facilities to make sure that kosher standards are maintained.
