Se’if 1א׳

אֵלּוּ דְּבָרִים שֶׁיּוֹצְאִים בָּהֶם יְדֵי חוֹבַת מַצָּה, בְּחִטִּים וּבִשְׂעוֹרִים וּבְכֻסְמִין וּבְשִׁבּוֹלֶת שׁוּעָל וּבְשִׁיפוֹן, וְהַמִּנְהָג לִקַּח לְכַתְּחִלָּה חִטִּים, (מַהֲרִי"ל), אֲבָל לֹא בְּאֹרֶז וּשְׁאָר מִינֵי קִטְנִיּוֹת, וְגַם אֵינָם בָּאִים לִידֵי חִמּוּץ וּמֻתָּר לַעֲשׂוֹת מֵהֶם תַּבְשִׁיל. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ אוֹסְרִים (טוּר וְהַגָּהוֹת מַיְמוֹנִי פ"ה וּמָרְדְּכַי פ' כָּל שָׁעָה). וְהַמִּנְהָג בְּאַשְׁכְּנָז לְהַחְמִיר, וְאֵין לְשַׁנּוֹת. מִיהוּ פָּשׁוּט דְּאֵין אוֹסְרִים בְּדִיעֲבַד אִם נָפְלוּ תּוֹךְ הַתַּבְשִׁיל. וְכֵן מֻתָּר לְהַדְלִיק בִּשְׁמָנִים הַנַּעֲשִׂים מֵהֶם, וְאֵינָן אוֹסְרִים אִם נָפְלוּ לְתוֹךְ הַתַּבְשִׁיל. וְכֵן מֻתָּר לְהַשְׁהוֹת מִינֵי קִטְנִיּוֹת בַּבַּיִת (ת"ה סי' קי"ג). וְזֶרַע אקליי"א (מַהֲרִי"ל) ואני"ס ואליינד"ר אֵינָן מִינֵי קִטְנִיּוֹת, וּמֻתָּר לְאָכְלָן בְּפֶסַח, כֵּן נ"ל.

The laws of wheat and grinding them for matzot. Containing 9 sections. These are the things through which one fulfills the obligation of [eating] matza: wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye - (and the custom is to take wheat initially (Maharil) - but not rice and other types of legumes [kitniyiot], and these also do not come to be leavened and it is [so] permitted to make a cooked food from them. REMA: And some forbid [it] (Tur and Hagahot Maimoniot and Mordechai on the Chapter [entitled] Kol Sha'ah). And the custom in Ashkenaz is to be strict [about this], and one should not change [it]. However, it is obvious that they do not render a cooked food forbidden after the fact if they fall into it. And so [too] is it permitted to light with oils that are made from them and [these oils] do not render a cooked food forbidden if they fall into it. And so [too] is it permissible to store types of legumes in the home (Terumat HaDeshen, Section 113). And the seed of dill (Maharil) and anise and coriander are not types of legumes and it is permissible to eat them on Pesach, and so does it appear [correct] to me.

Se’if 2ב׳

הָעוֹשֶׂה עִסָה מִן הַחִטִּים וּמִן הָאֹרֶז, אִם יֵשׁ בָּהּ טַעַם דָּגָן יוֹצֵא בָּהּ יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח.

If one makes dough from both wheat and rice, if it has the taste of [wheat] grain, one can fulfill the obligation with it on Pesach.

Se’if 3ג׳

אִם לֹא בֵּרְרוּ הַחִטִּים מֵאֲכִילַת עַכְבָּר, אֵין בְּכָךְ כְּלוּם. הַגָּה: וְכֵן אִם לֹא בֵּרְרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ אוֹתוֹ דָּגָן שֶׁצָּמַח; מִיהוּ צָרִיךְ לִרְאוֹת שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ כָּל כָּךְ שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא שִׁשִּׁים כְּנֶגְדּוֹ מִן הַהֶתֵּר (הַגָּהוֹת מַיְמוֹנִי בְּשֵׁם סְמַ"ק וְת"ה סִימָן קי"ד).

If one did not separate [from] the wheat the mice-eaten [portions], it is of no concern. Rema: And similarly if one did not separate from it the grain sprouts. However, it is necessary to ascertain that all of this [the forbidden portions] is not equal to one-sixtieth of the permitted portions. (Hagahot Maimoniot in the name of Sma"k and Terumas Hadeshen in siman 114)
