Pesach: Quinoa and Amaranth

Question

How is it possible to obtain amaranth and quinoa for Pesach, since they don't have kosher-for-Pesach certification? It is possible to buy them without a special Pesach certification, check them carefully, and eat them on Pesach?

Answer

Rabbi Yehuda HaLevy Amichay

Those who eat these produces (Sephardim for whom the kitniyot prohibition does not apply to and Ashkenazim who eat legumes that were not known when the decree was made) can check these products on their own to make sure no wheat kernels are mixed in.
