This does not explain why the “kitniyus family” keeps expanding, and some now include things like peas, caraway, fennel seed, mustard, garlic, corn, peanuts (which were not considered kitniyus until the 1950’s or so), and qunioa (which some rabbonim want declared kitniyus now), especially as in Igrot Moshe (Orach Chaim 3-63) Reb Moshe Feinstein (who is quoted in this video) says that there there is no basis for expanding upon the list of prohibited items.

Check the rice 3 times before they eat it!
most sefardim do not eat kitniyos, depends where they come from
tunisians do eat rice etc but many others do not at all!
Question – According to what you said if I followed correctly, On the basis that kitniyus will decay anyway after some time then if the issue of grain getting mixed in (from the close fields or previous growing) wont make a difference, because once it all decays the whole flower is useless anyway. Why would it then be a problem?
Thanks
From you sefardi brother 🙂
