Winter farm share, pickup 11 of 12

[magid]

• a bottle of hot sauce (given away at distribution site; Passover)
  
• a box of pea shoots (ditto; I wasn't sure whether the shoots are considered kitniyot as well, and don't like them enough to find out)
  
• three big russet potatoes
  
• six carrots
  
• four chioggia beets
  
• a big bag of spinach
  
• a big bag of mixed salad greens (from Queens Greens)

First thought: salad with the salad greens (of course), saute the spinach with mushrooms, pickle the carrots and beets, which has the added benefit of making pickles for next Passover if I make them before turning the kitchen over sometime next week.

Doesn't matter if you don't like them enough anyway, but I thought for kitniyot the prohibition was on eating it, not owning it? Granted it usually doesn't come up; if you're clearing stuff out anyway, might as well throw the bag of rice in with the sack of flour or whatever. But even if they're kitniyot, would there have been a problem with you picking them up?

You're right, kitniyot aren't a problem to own at all. Heck, I could eat food cooked in a kitniyot pot, as long as the dish itself didn't have any. This was more of a throwing-hands-up lack of cope. If I just gave them to the person running the distribution point (which I did, saying that I wasn't taking ownership of either item due to Passover), it was done with, and I didn't have to do anything more, which this year feels like a win....
