Updated: Jul 18, 2021

Pronunciation: Kit·ni·yot‎

Literal translation: Legumes

We know that Israel is a melting pot of Jews from all over the world and with so many different cultures comes many different traditions. What traditions are followed during Passover can depend on where your family originated. A well-known custom for Ashkenazi Jews is to not eat kitniyot on Passover while Sephardim will.
