About Matzoh ball

Matzoh Balls are traditional dumplings originating in Jewish cuisine, often served in chicken soup during festive meals like Passover. Made primarily from matzoh meal (ground unleavened bread), eggs, water, and oil or schmaltz (chicken fat), the mixture is shaped into balls and boiled. Their texture can range from light and fluffy to dense, depending on preparation techniques. Matzoh Balls are a comforting, flavorful addition to soups but are relatively low in fiber and high in carbohydrates due to the matzoh meal base. When made with schmaltz, they may also contain notable saturated fat. To boost nutritional value, they can be paired with nutrient-rich chicken broth, vegetables, and lean protein. While they’re not inherently nutrient-dense, they serve as an integral part of a wholesome meal celebrating tradition and cultural heritage.
