What Produce Needs to Be Checked - Keeping it Kosher Clips

Can you go over what are the common  ones that you should be checking,   and what are some items that you really should  be checking that people don't know about? Ooh. Well, I will give a  good plug for OUkosher.org,   as well as the OU Kosher app. Where, if you  had a question about any particular item,   there's a number of resources online that the  OU provides with instructions, and whether or   not something does or does not require to check,  as well as on how to check it. So there's that. I mean, ones that are common that I think  people are aware of are various types of   lettuces and herbs like romaine lettuce or kale  or spinach, strawberries. I do think certain   items which people may not be aware of, is the  OU does not recommend checking blackberries   and raspberries due to the difficulty  involved. Especially in our restaurants. But I'll tell you another fun innovation  aspect. I did some work with a CAT scanning   company where they specialize in the food and  beverage industry. So, for example, if you have   a pill that has different ingredients  blended in, they'll actually CAT scan it   and tell you how uniformly distributed the  different powders are inside as a service. Whoa. Yeah. So, after a few conversations I ended up  going down, and we did CAT scans on blackberries   and raspberries to see, conceptually, could you  scan a berry and check the inside of it and check   if there's any bugs or not, and it was really  cool. Like, you have like the whole 3D image, and   you could just like scroll through the whole berry  and just check it. It was pretty fascinating. Is that a possibility or it's not  cost-effective, nobody would do it? Well, the proof of concept failed. Why is that? Well, you know the common phrase, "you are what  you eat?" So, the density of these particular   bugs was literally the exact same density  as the berry. So, go figure. So it was too   faint to detect any difference in between the  layers when it was like literally in there. So,   on the surface level, it was amazing. You know, I  got some really cool videos and pictures of that.
