Pareve

Common card · No. 291699

In kashrut, the dietary laws of Judaism, pareve or parve (from Yiddish: פאַרעוו for "neutral"; in Hebrew פַּרוֶוה, parveh) is a classification of food that contains neither dairy nor meat ingredients. Food in this category includes all items that grow from the ground (fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.), fish (only Kosher fish), eggs, and non-biological edible items (such as water and salt). Kashrut forbids the following; consuming mixtures of milk and meat, consuming milk and meat during the same meal, consuming dairy foods within a period of time after consuming meat (the time period varies by custom), consuming meat foods within a period of time after consuming dairy (the time period varies by custom), and using the same dishes for both dairy and meat. Pareve foods, being neutral, can be consumed with either dairy or meat.
