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!
