Reply To: Will you eat Quinoa on Peisach?

Once quinoa becomes widely acceptable, and we get used to having bread, pita and pizza made from quinoa, it will be very hard to convince people they shouldn’t use corn (maize). They are both American Indian crops that aren’t among the prohibited grains, and that were used by the American Indians in lieu of the prohibited grains (since before 1492, they prohibited grains were unavailable in America). If you say quinoa is kosher le-pesach, you are calling into question the halacha against kitniyos.
