Which of these is NOT considered Kitniyos?

Kitniyos refers to a category of food items that Ashkenazi Jews traditionally avoid during Passover, as these foods can be leavened or confused with leavened products. The primary items classified as kitniyos typically include legumes, rice, and certain grains.

Wheat is categorized as chametz and is not considered kitniyos. Chametz refers to leavened foods made from specific grains (like wheat, barley, rye, oats, and spelt) that can ferment and rise when mixed with water. During Passover, the prohibition against eating chametz is strict, meaning that wheat falls clearly under this category.

In contrast, corn, peanuts, and beans are considered kitniyos. These foods, while potentially problematic for some because they can be mistaken for leavened products or lead to confusion in preparation, do not fall under the same prohibition as chametz and are generally permitted in certain traditions during Passover.

Therefore, identifying wheat as NOT considered kitniyos aligns with traditional Jewish dietary laws associated with Passover.
