Products made from <strong>kitniyot <\/strong>\u2013 corn flakes, corn flour, and rice cakes, for example \u2013 are also included in the custom. Saffron was originally called \u201c<strong>karkom<\/strong>\u201d in Hebrew and is permitted, and turmeric, the Modern Hebrew <strong>karkom<\/strong>, is also permitted, but if there is concern that wheat was mixed into the saffron, it is forbidden. Mustard and flaxseed are not <strong>kitniyot<\/strong>, but the custom is to forbid them because they grow in pods like <strong>kitniyot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dill and coriander are not <strong>kitniyot<\/strong>, but one must examine them well because they often contain wheat.<\/p>\n<p>There are differing customs regarding peanuts. In Jerusalem and many other places people refrain from eating them (<strong>Mikra\u2019ei<\/strong> <strong>Kodesh<\/strong> 2:60), but in Greater Lithuania they were customarily eaten. One who does not know whether his family was stringent in this regard may eat them (<strong>Igrot<\/strong> <strong>Moshe<\/strong> O\u1e24 3:63).<\/p>\n<p>Potato flour is permitted on Pesa\u1e25. There is no contention that based on the customary prohibition of <strong>kitniyot <\/strong>anything from which flour can be made should be forbidden. Rather, the custom only includes what the great Ashkenazic Rishonim forbade. Since potatoes had not yet arrived in Europe then, they are not included in the prohibition (<strong>ibid<\/strong>.).<\/p>\n<p>Regarding quinoa, some are strict due to its similarity to some types of <strong>kitniyot<\/strong>. Some are lenient since the customary prohibition does not apply to quinoa, which entered our diets only recently. Moreover, its seeds are much smaller than those of cereal grains, making them easy to distinguish. In practice, the primary view is the lenient one, as long as one thoroughly inspects the quinoa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The familiar foods included in this custom are: rice, alfalfa, peas, millet, sorghum, chickpeas, fenugreek seeds, sunflower seeds, mustard, buckwheat (kusemet, not to be confused with kusmin \u2013 spelt \u2013 which is a forbidden cereal grain), cumin, vetch, black-eyed peas, soy, mung beans, lentils, fava beans, lupin beans, poppy seeds, flaxseed, pulse, caraway, hemp seeds, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-09-kitniyot"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
