Matzo crackers, also known as matzah, are a traditional unleavened bread central to Jewish cuisine, especially during Passover. Made primarily from simple ingredients like wheat flour and water, matzo is prepared under strict guidelines to prevent fermentation, symbolizing humility and historical significance. Typically thin, crisp, and neutral in flavor, it is versatile for pairing with spreads, soups, or other dishes. Nutritionally, matzo is low in fat and contains no added sugars, making it a relatively light option. However, it is not particularly rich in fiber, vitamins, or minerals, and some versions may also include sodium, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Whole-grain matzo varieties provide added nutritional benefits like increased fiber content. While it can fit into a balanced diet, moderation is key, especially for those seeking more nutrient-dense whole grains or mindful of dietary restrictions.
