Chia+seeds'
Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.** Chia seeds are kitniyot (a category of legumes and seeds prohibited by Ashkenazi custom during Passover to avoid confusion with chametz), similar to sesame or rice. Sephardic Jews may permit kitniyot, but chia specifically lacks traditional Passover certification and can swell/absorb water like chametz, raising concerns. Always check with a reliable Orthodox authority or hechsher for your custom.
