Kitniyot includes legumes, grains, and seeds that can be processed into flour or resemble chametz (leavened products). However, customs may vary among different Jewish communities, so it’s best to consult your specific community’s guidelines.

What is kitniyot?
Kitniyot refers to things that might be confused with grains that are problematic during Passover. Wheat, oats, barley, rye and spelt are the problematic grains. Kitniyot grains include rice, dried legumes, and corn. During the Middle ages, the Ashkenazic community gradually adopted rules forbidding eating kitniyot during Passover in order to avoid the possibility that someone might think you were consuming problematic grains. None of the other Jewish communities adopted these rules, and during the period when the kitniyot prohibition was spreading, there was lots of push back from some Ashkenazic rabbis. Today, you will find many Ashkenazic Jews who agree that the prohibition is nonsense, but still avoid kitniyot because it is such an established tradition.
