Is popcorn kosher?

It depends. If you are Ashkenaz, then you can't eat popcorn on Passover (Ashkenazim don't eat legumes on passover, and corn is a legume). If you are of a Sefard (who do eat legumes on Passover) origin, then you technically can eat popcorn on Passover, but it must have a reliable kosher for Passover certification.Correction:Corn is not a legume. The reason that corn isn't eaten during Passover is because of a naming error when it came to Europe and it became associated with one of the grains that the Torah forbids during Passover.

Coca-Cola with real sugar?

Normally, Coca-Cola (a kosher beverage) is made with corn syrup, however the Coca-Cola which is labeled as kosher for Passover (usually with a yellow cap), which you may see in the supermarket around passover time, is made with sugar instead of corn syrup. This is because Jews do not eat any leavened breads or leavened foods made from grains on the holiday of Passover. Ashkenazic Jews (Jews of German decent) have an additional custom to refrain from eating certain legumes, rice and corn. Hence, you can purchase Coca-Cola made with real sugar around the holiday of Passover.


Can you eat marshmallow for Passover?

The answer depends on your religion. If you're Christian or Muslim, you're in the clear; there are no prohibitions on cornbread dressing during passover.For Jews, the answer depends on your particular outlook. The Torah has no proscription specifically against maize, it merely says that no leavened bread may be consumed during Passover. For Karaite Jews, who reject Talmudic law and only follow the Torah, that's all they need to know. Since the Torah does not mention corn, corn is fine.Most Jews, however, follow the Talmud, which is a body of laws created by rabbis, derived from the Torah. According to the Talmud, corn is a leavened grain, because it expands when moistened and cooked. Therefore, orthodox and conservative Jews cannot eat any sort of corn product during Passover, including cornbread dressing.Jewish Answer:Sephardi Jews can eat corn and items made with corn during Passover. Ashkenazi Jews do not eat corn during Passover. It has nothing to do with whether the person is orthodox or not.

On Passover, we are talking about what happened in Egypt and leaing Egypt, and we eat Matzoh instead of leaven bread, or anything that has grains, corn syrup, ect in it. All food that contains corn syrup, grains, (like wheat ect), ect are called 'Chomutz (sp?)' and are not allowed to be eaten on Passover. An exception to the grain rule is to Spanish Jews (Who eat rice commonly).
