Eaters of legumes

Eaters of legumes

People who follow the halakhic tradition that permits eating legumes (kitniyot) during Passover.

("They would not eat meat but would pass the time with light foods and legumes to enter the festival with appetite, and it was the custom of those who ate legumes to leave some for the following day" — Beit HaBechira, Meiri on Beitzah 16a; and "The people of Austria customarily refrain from eating legumes on certain days because it resembles rolling mourning" — Magen Avraham, Siman 131:14.)
