parve

Dairy-free, meat-free

Parve (also pareve) is a Jewish dietary classification for foods that are neither meat nor dairy, making them suitable to eat with either.

Eggs, fish, vegetables, and grains are parve.

The designation matters in kosher cooking, where meat and dairy must be kept separate: Is this margarine parve?

We need a parve dessert for after the brisket.
