The Nine Days, leading up to the fast of Tisha B'Av, are a time of heightened mourning in Judaism, but a common question arises regarding specific dietary rules. A central aspect of this observance is whether you can have chicken on the 9 days, which is generally prohibited due to the laws of mourning.

For many people, corn is a dietary staple, but for some Jewish communities during the Passover holiday, it is traditionally avoided. This practice is part of the custom of refraining from *kitniyot*, which directly addresses the question of **why is corn not kosher?** for those who observe it.
