Matzo is an unleavened flatbread that holds a special place in Jewish cuisine, traditionally enjoyed during Passover. Made from simple ingredients like flour and water, it's a symbol of haste, representing the Israelites' quick escape from slavery. Matzo is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a healthier choice compared to many snacks. However, it’s primarily made from refined flour, which can impact blood sugar levels. Versatile and crunchy, matzo can be enjoyed on its own, topped with spreads, or used in recipes like matzo ball soup, making it a beloved staple in many households.
