Question

I am a vegetarian by choice – Ashkenazi. May I eat kitniot on Pesach?

  1. The custom for Ashkenazim to be stringent and not to eat kitniot on Pesach stretches back hundreds of years and, as there are so many vegetarian alternatives that do not use kitniot, I do not think that there is room to be lenient.
