For Passover, do you have to get rid of bagged flour? Why, if matzo is ok?(or it's ok to just NOT cook w/ it?)!


Question: Do you have to sell/throw away bagged flour,
or just store it with corn, etc...
and not use/cook with it?

Wheat flour is true chometz, so yes most people dispose of it (some sell it). Matza is not leavened, not chometz, so it can (in fact at the seder must) be used. Pasta, bread, cookies, and Twizzlers are other examples of true chometz (yes, Twizzlers are made with wheat flour!).

Corn and other kitniyos products are put away for the duration of the holiday, but can be owned; they just can't be cooked or eaten (by Ashkenazi Jews; Sephardi Jews do eat kitniyos, meaning legumes and related foods).

I don't see anything wrong with storing.

i am jewish too!

I was told to throw away my bagged flour. My parents usually throw it out when im at school and my hebrew school teachers throw it out too.So yes! Hope this helps :D

you don't have to throw you can sell and store but you have to buy it back and have a good pesach
