Matzo, a traditional unleavened bread integral to Jewish cuisine, is made from just flour and water, excluding yeast or any leavening agents, in accordance with dietary rules for Passover. It is baked quickly to prevent fermentation, symbolizing the haste of the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. Matzo is crisp, flat, and neutral in flavor, making it a versatile option for meals and snacks. Nutritionally, matzo is low in fat and sugar, providing a simple carbohydrate source. However, it can lack fiber and essential nutrients compared to whole-grain alternatives, particularly when made from refined flour. For those watching sodium intake, certain varieties may contain added salt. Matzo is ideal for individuals seeking low-fat carbohydrates but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially when paired with nutrient-dense foods to complement its simplicity.
