4 foods that can be kosher for Passover

There are certain foods that are prohibited on Passover, however, many don't realize there are Kosher versions of their favourite foods. Check out the below list for surprising Kosher for Passover food options.

The sweet treat is usually sweetened with corn syrup, which is considered chametz. But, what most people don't realize is that it's possible to get coke that is indeed Kosher for Passover. During Passover stores sell Coca-Cola that is not sweetened with corn syrup, but instead, regular sugar, so that Jewish consumers can drink it freely on the holiday. In fact, many people think that it tastes even better than the regular stuff! To spot Kosher for Passover Coke, look for the bottles with the yellow caps. They will have a Kosher for Passover marking on them.

Many grain-like foods that get bigger and rise are not allowed to be eaten during Passover. However, it was recently confirmed that quinoa is an acceptable food to eat on the holiday. Quinoa is kosher for Passover because it is not actually a grain. Quinoa is actually related to plants that are root vegetables, and thus, it's fine to eat it throughout the eight days of Passover. While some Ashkenazi Jewish folks still hold that Quinoa is not Kosher for Passover because it is grown near grains like barley and oats, more lenient Jewish families will find themselves able to enjoy it on Passover.

Peanut butter is off-limits for many people during the holiday. However, that doesn't mean you can't eat almond butter! Peanuts are a legume, so they're not Kosher for Passover. However, almonds are nuts, which means they're totally fine to consume. Eat almond butter on your matzo, just make sure it is natural and does not have any corn syrup added into it. You can also eat other nut butters like hazelnut butter, walnut butter, and cashew nut butter, as long as they aren't made with corn syrup.

Really craving baked goods? Make something with almond flour. Almond flour is a popular substitute for regular flour for people that eat gluten-free every day, and it is a great way to add some nutty flavour to your favourite desserts. Consider substituting regular flour with almond flour in your favourite banana bread. Then, buy Kosher for Passover chocolate chips and add them to your mix. At the end, you'll have a treat that you'll want to eat on Passover.
