Must one sort out sprouted grains from wheat for Pesach flour, and what ratio of sprouted to kosher grain is required?
Synopsis
The Rema rules one need not sort out sprouted grains (which are genuine chametz) as long as there are sixty times as much permitted grain against them. If not, one must remove enough to achieve the sixty ratio. Debate exists about whether one may add more grain to reach sixty.
