Chametz, kitniyot, what?
Chametz: This term applies to breads, grains, and leavened comestibles that are not consumed by Ashkenazic or Sephardic Jews during Passover. Prior to Passover one is required to remove chametz from one’s home. Traditional methods include burning, selling or donating it, as well as nullifying ownership of the chametz via an Aramaic statement uttered by the head of the household. Kitniyot: Traditional Ashkenazi Jews also refrain from foods that they feel resemble chametz or could have easily been contaminated by chametz. Sephardic Jews do not follow this minhag (custom).
