Matzo, a traditional unleavened bread rooted in Jewish cuisine, is a key component of Passover celebrations. Made simply from flour and water, it undergoes a quick preparation process to ensure it remains free of leavening agents, symbolizing the Israelites’ hasty departure from Egypt. Matzo is low in fat and cholesterol, making it a lighter option compared to many breads. However, it is often low in fiber and nutrients, especially when refined flour is used, which may not provide lasting energy or satiety. Some versions of matzo, such as whole-grain options, offer improved nutritional content and higher fiber levels. Matzo can be consumed plain, used as a base for dishes like matzo brei, or crushed into matzo meal for cooking. Its simplicity and historical significance make it a meaningful staple in Jewish diets during Passover and beyond.
