We have a fairly large Orthodox community here, so I should be able to find most of the type of products that you are talking about.

I had my first GF Pesach last year and felt, for some reason, even more constricted than the rest of the year. Perhaps it was the no soy thing. I already feel better this year knowing the products and other things available. I might actually enjoy the holiday this year!

The prohibition of beans, seeds, and other grains is a custom that Ashkenazi Jews (but not Sephardic Jews) have. In Judaism when something is a custom for a long time it becomes almost like it is a law - So Ashkenazi Jews rarely reject this custom even though it's not exactly encoded as law. There is actually a movement in Israel to reject this custom as an unnecessary stricture, but that movement hasn't reached the US yet. So most Ashkenazi Jews continue to avoid those products. The reasoning? Those are all products that are a) able to be ground into flours that could be mistaken for chametz flour and vice versa [why potato starch is okay then i just don't know!], b) could have some chametz mixed in with them without it being visible so you could inadvertently eat chametz, c) can be cooked and baked in a fashion similar to chometz.<BR/><BR/>We don't treat kitniyos with the same strictness as chametz. You don't have to remove it from your house, search for traces of it, etc. You just avoid eating it and buy products that don't have kitniyos derivatives in them.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!ByTheBayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670549761665347741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-84974629032254900182008-04-17T09:06:00.000-04:002008-04-17T09:06:00.000-04:00Hello!

My guess is it is about things being unleavened and so they went the extra mile and just avoid any flour that can be leavened? What about the group that doesn't even eat beans? Just wondering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35701713.post-59288093822139291162007-02-11T13:47:00.000-05:002007-02-11T13:47:00.000-05:00Thank you for all this wonderful information!

I explained that I use it as a reference to whole food that is tasty.<BR/>I mentioned the fact that Passover is one time to be very aware of the foods, that us GF folk can purchase more fun and interesting items during this holiday.
