Ground Matzo Made From Passover Wheat Flour And Water

Matzo is a type of unleavened flatbread traditionally eaten by Jewish people during Passover. It is made from a simple mixture of flour and water, which is quickly baked to prevent it from rising. Passover wheat flour signifies that the flour was prepared under specific rabbinical supervision to meet religious requirements for the holiday.

Ground matzo, often called matzo meal or matzo crumb, is used as a binder or thickener in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and brownies. It can also be used as a coating for fried foods or as a base for dumplings and kugels. Its mild flavor makes it versatile in various recipes.

Matzo is a grain product and a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its derivatives, generally finding them safe for consumption within typical dietary patterns. No specific health concerns are associated with moderate consumption of matzo as part of a balanced diet.
