One of the biggest holidays of the year is just 2 days away and yet there’s still time to make an emergency call to your local Toronto florist to order your Christmas flowers and gift baskets. That’s right! As one of the most experienced florists in the city, we know that there will be plenty of people who have left their Christmas shopping to the last minute, so we’ve stocked up to help out those frantically trying to shop for everyone on their list. We still have plenty of fresh flowers and bountiful baskets filled with fruit, candies and gourmet treats.

Why not? It’s a tradition that has survived through more than a couple of centuries. The act of giving food as a present is not only practical – it’s also a welcome change from the usual flowers (or socks) that some of us receive. Think about it: gourmet gift baskets are really just edible presents that are arranged in a basket so that they can be transported easily. And since nobody wants to give something ugly, the treats are arranged attractively with decorations to add beauty. Voila!

Many religions have rules and regulations that govern them and give them structure. Many religions have dietaryGratitude laws, which are laws that govern the process food is made and prepared.

In Judaism, Kosher is the term given to the food that the Jews are allowed to consume. Kashrut is the term given for the set of Jewish dietary laws that govern the food that Jewish people can eat.
The meat of some types of predatory animals and birds are not kosher, as well as that of the pig. The blood, fat and thigh meat of permitted animals are also considered not kosher and therefore off-limits to Jews. Special kosher rules need to be followed for an animal to be slaughtered and its meat prepared for consumption. For food to be kosher, it is also prohibited to mix meat and dairy products with each other. Furthermore, kosher foods can only be in contact with cooking utensils and machinery reserved for kosher food and cannot be contaminated by having come in contact with non-kosher food.
At 416-Florist.com, we offer our Jewish clientele kosher gift, food and gourmet baskets for every occasion such as Hanukkah, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shushan Purim and many other Jewish holidays. We provide a wide variety of kosher products from trusted sources and with certified kosher markings.
