[Avodah] garlic on Pesach

[Simi Peters]

Yes, I know I'm way behind, but having caught up on my Avodah backlog, I thought it would be helpful to weigh in on the garlic-on-Pesach thing.

My mother told me that the reason we didn't eat garlic on Pesach was because garlic used to be stored in sacks of wheat (to keep it fresh, I assume) and therefore one might find grains of wheat in the heads of garlic on Pesach, which would have been a real hametz problem.

Kol tuv,
