Feast of
Unleavened Bread
This began on the evening of the fourteenth (beginning of the fifteenth day) day of the first month and lasted for seven days. The first evening is the Passover Feast.
Exodus 12
15Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 17And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
Celebrating this feast today can seem difficult. You would be amazed at how many things have leavening in it. But if you want to take this on and not eat any leavening for the full seven days, just make sure you read the labels on everything you buy.
Where did the Feast of Unleavened Bread come from?
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is to remember when God lead Israel out of Egypt in such haste that all they had to eat was unleavened bread. For seven days his people were not supposed to eat anything with leavening in it and if they did, they were cast out.
How does the Feast of Unleavened Bread pertain to Jesus?
Unleavened bread symbolized Jesus' body. Leavening represents two things; sin and doctrine. Jesus' body was without sin. However Jesus said, "beware of the leavening of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy," and their false doctrine.

This feast was celebrated before any of the harvests and was more of a memorial feast week than a joyful one.
The most important thing to remember about this feast week is to throw out all your leavening to make sure you don't eat anything with leavening in it.
Some foods that don't have leavening are…
Mac and cheese (most other noodles)
Sweet potatoes
Any kind of potatoes
Chips
Cornus chips
Corn Tortillas
All fruits and veggies
Rice
The biggest thing is to double check everything, even seasoning packets, to make sure there is no leavening in anything.
Leavening includes: yeast, yeast extract, baking soda, baking powder, some eggs depending on how they're used (like in breads, cake, or cookies), bicarbonate of ammonia or ammonia carbonate (Baking ammonia) and other bicarbonates, and sourdough starter.
