Chametz refers to leavened bread, understood by the rabbis to be any food containing one of five species of grain — wheat, barley, oat, spelt and rye — that has been allowed to rise. Several biblical verses command that one abstain from consuming chametz on the Passover holiday and to avoid encountering it in other ways.
