<<Cooked* kitniyos.  Where do you see anything about not eating raw ones?>>

Quoting R. Shimon Eider " One cannot eat legumes on Pesach"
Poskim who discuss an ashkenazi eating by a sefardi for Pesach mention
that one should avoid the kitniyot being served and otherwise it is okay.

Asking arounf no one has heard of a minhag of ashkenazim eating raw kitniyot.
One of the reasons given for the minhag of kitniyot is that the fields of grains
and kitniyot were near each other and so frequently the seeds of each
got mixed up.
That would apply equally to raw kitniyot as to flour.
Besides if raw kitniyot are allowed why would anyone thing that
derivatives besides
flour eg oils would be prohibited
