Portable Meals Let Travelers Eat Kosher on the Run
Finding kosher food away from home is not always easy for
travelers who follow traditional Jewish dietary laws. However, thanks to online
grocer Kosher.com, travelers can now choose from a varied menu of kosher meals
that can be heated up on the road.
Founded in 2000, Kosher.com is the nation's largest on-line
provider of kosher food products. Kosher.com offers thousands of food items--
from canned goods to gourmet meals--delivered anywhere in the world. There are
over 30 meals to choose from and the meals are non-perishable, require no
refrigeration, and can be easily packed in a suitcase or small bag. Dishes range
from beef bourguignon with parsley potatoes to vegetarian stuffed shells. All
food items are prepared under rabbinic supervision and certified kosher. Many of
the meals can be quickly heated in a microwave while others can be cooked
without an oven; a boon to travelers longing for a hot meal when electricity is
unavailable.
The unique line of self-heating portable meals, which
include soup and a snack, comes with a patented flameless food heater made of
magnesium, iron and a small packet of saltwater. When the water is poured onto
the heating element it produces heat and steam inside the box. Within a few
minutes the meal is simmering and ready to eat.
Kosher food is not only for travelers who keep kosher or
are even Jewish. According to Kosher.com, increasing numbers of consumers are
buying kosher because they believe the products to be safer and healthier. This
is due to the fact that kosher foods are produced under stricter monitoring
conditions than mainstream items. Labeling on kosher products makes it easy to
find dairy or meat-free products; an important feature for vegetarians and
health-conscious consumers. There's even kosher food for cats and dogs! For more
