Lavosh

Lavosh is a thin, crisp, rectangular cracker or flatbread that originated in Armenia. It is typically made from flour, water, and salt, and is baked until dry and crunchy. Modern versions may include yeast for a slightly leavened texture.

Lavosh is often used as a base for appetizers, dips, or as a crunchy snack on its own. Manufacturers may use it as a carrier for savory toppings or as a component in prepared wraps and sandwiches, adding a satisfying crispness.

Lavosh is generally considered a grain-based food and does not have specific regulatory classifications as an additive. Its health implications are similar to other crackers and breads, primarily contributing carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated lavosh as a distinct ingredient, but its components are widely consumed and regulated.
