DaasYochid; hilchos taaruvos-HUH? The reasosn given for the minhag of kitnyos is pretty clear from the early rishonim, primarily ashkenazi rishonim. Why add to it? I understand that one has to make sure that ,whatever the product, it contains no chometz (hence, a hechsher for quinoa) but why add things to a gezeirah on our own? About the only item that predates the minhag is rice. As mentioned, I do not at kitnyos because I am respectful of minhagim -this is why I don’t eat “gebrocks”,although it is a minute “cheshash”. All the newfangled “chumros” show how far we have come in our prediliction for chumros.
