What is the difference in a kosher dill pickle and other dill pickles?

Everything that grows from the ground is kosher.
There's nothing in a jar of pickles to make it non-kosher, as long as it doesn't come
in contact with other ingredients, or machinery, used in non-kosher products.
"Kosher pickles" are something of a unique case. This particular item is called "kosher"
strictly because of its close association with a style, a genre, a culture, an ethnicity,
a region in cooking, and not because of any technical involvement with the Jewish
dietary laws. They could just as well be labeled "Eastern European Pickles", but that
would require bigger labels on the jars.

∙ 14y agoMost hechsher stamps on dill and other pickles (such as the Star K stamp and others which guarantee food is kosher) will include the word parve or pareve. Parve refers to food that in neutral according to kashrus (kosher laws), and is therefore neither kosher nor treif (non-kosher) and as a result can be eaten by observant Jews. Those that have such a stamp are made by companies either owned by Jews or well aware that Jews - who tend to have a great fondness for pickles - make up a lot of their customer base and so they are willing to pay a hechsher authority for the right to use their stamp. If the product contains no animal products, as is the case with many pickles, it is parve - any food with a label declaring it to be suitable for vegans will be parve. If you suspect it contains an animal product, look for the hechser stamp.
So, to answer your question, kosher and "genuine" dill are the same, unless the "genuine" dill contains a non-kosher animal product among the ingredients.

∙ 12y agoSince the production of dill pickles doesn't require the use of meat or milk, probably very little in most cases. Kashrut - the set of laws that determines whether or not a food is kosher - apply only to foods derived from animals: all plants and products derived from plants (ie cucumbers and vinegar) are parve, a word meaning neutral and neither kosher nor treif (not kosher). However, many Jewish people will not buy food unless it carries a hechsher stamp guaranteeing it to be suitable for their consumption, so kosher pickles will have a stamp guaranteeing them to be parve.

Are pickles kosher?
Everything that grows from the ground is kosher. Concerning the pickles only, there's nothing in a pickle that makes it non-kosher, as long as it doesn't come in contact with other ingredients, or machinery, used in non-kosher products. But just like anything else on the supermarket shelf, one has to check to make sure. Kosher pickles should be kosher. To confirm this, you would need to check the labeling for a recognized hechsher (kosher certification symbol). The US, and most other countries with food labeling laws, doesn't allow any reference to being kosher unless the product is certified kosher. Pickles that are labeled "kosher style", are most likely not kosher. Items that could render pickles not kosher are primarily non-kosher spices and non- kosher vinegar.

Why are pickles kosher?
Kosher foods are those that do not violate Jewish dietary law. The law is complicated, and not all authorities agree on exactly what is kosher and what isn't. A kosher food will generally have on it somewhere a trademarked symbol belonging to a rabbinical supervising organization. This means the product has been investigated by someone belonging to that organization who is very familiar with Jewish dietary law, and has found that not only the ingredients but the process used does not violate any of the principles of that law as interpreted by that particular organization. Some organizations are stricter than others, but most of them make their guidelines for specific foods available so people know exactly what a kosher certification from that organization really means.The question might arise: what might there be in a dill pickle that could possibly violate the dietary law to make some dills "Kosher Dills" and others just "Dill pickles"? The answer is that so-called "Kosher Dills" are not necessarily actually kosher in the sense of being made under rabbinical supervision, but that they're the traditional style (with lots of garlic and dill) that would typically be served in a New York kosher deli. The label usually actually reads "Kosher style Dill" with the word style written very small.__________There is no dispute as to what is or isn't kosher. The only potential issue is that some people follow more strict standards. For example, cow milk in North America is considered kosher, however, some people will only drink milk that is 'chalav yisrael'. Chalav yisrael is a certification given to milk where the whole process of production is supervised by a 'mashgiach' (an orthodox observant Jew who is an expert on the laws of kashrut). A mashgiach can be a rabbi but that is not required. One of the only ingredients that could render a pickle not kosher is the type of vinegar used if a vinegar brine is used.
