kosher for Pesach brown rice

Those who follow Sephardi kashrut for Pesach may be interested to know that we found kosher for Pesach brown rice for $3/lb at Holon Foods on Kings Highway btw E3rd & E4th Streets in Brooklyn (in store only). It's also where we buy Israeli chocolate spread and date paste.

That's a very interesting commentary on how arbitrary the kashrut laws are, if they can be so different from one another. One of our non-Jewish in-laws recently asked, if matza is made from flour and water and that's okay, then why is flour itself not okay? I don't know.

With matzah the flour and water must be baked in under 18 minutes so no leavening can occur. To be on the safe side all flour is discarded and we eat only matzah.
