Sukot Kosher Foods

Sukkot kosher foods give homage to the abundance of the autumn harvest. Various kosher foods are made from apples, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots and root vegetables. These are the seasonal foods of autumn which overflow during a bountiful harvest in autumn.

It is also customary at this time of the year to serve soups, stews and casseroles. These types of foods are easy to prepare and easily moved to the sukkot. Stuffed foods play a significant role during sukkot. Rice, meat and herbs are used as stuffing in the preparation of meals composed of cabbage, grape leaves, zucchini, squash and peppers.

Sukkot is a harvest festival. We hope that you enjoy some of our favourite sukkot kosher recipes.
