Good morning, Rabbi Simon
Sorry to trouble you.
I can’t remember if we are allowed to use bags of pre-cut vegetables from quality retailers such as Marks & Spencer.  I obviously check them accordingly. I just can’t remember if we are allowed them for Pesach

Hi Perry
Thank you for your practical question. The pitfall with these lovely pre-cut vegetables is that they are often treated with citric acid to prevent discolouration. Citric acid may be derived from chametz ?. So they are best avoided, or sourced from kosher purveyors such as Kosher Kingdom. Ditto for frozen.
Best wishes
Rabbi Rashi Simon

Ask the Rabbi: Quinoa on Pesach
Dear Rabbi Simon,
Where do you stand on quinoa (and the kitniyot ban) for Pesach?
Many thanks,
Tzippy

Dear Tzippy,
In line with other American authorities, I am in favour of quinoa. Although I reject completely the voices (mostly from Israel) seeking to abolish the ban on kitniyot entirely, IMO we do not need to include in the prohibition pseudo-grains that were unknown in the Old World until modern times. Best to buy with a Pesach hechsher though, to be free of any possible wheat contamination.
Rabbi Rashi Simon
