Mara
Not Kosher for Passover
Not kosher for Passover.
Mara, also known as bitter herbs, is a component of the Passover Seder, but the term "Mara" itself does not refer to a specific kosher-for-Passover product. The bitter herbs used during Passover must be free from chametz (leavened products) and kitniyot (legumes, which are avoided by Ashkenazi Jews). The specific type of bitter herb used, such as horseradish or romaine lettuce, must be prepared and checked to ensure it meets Passover standards.
