What it is

Matzoh meal is a coarse flour made from unleavened bread, traditionally baked for a short time to prevent rising. It is typically made from wheat flour and water, baked quickly to meet kosher requirements for Passover.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use matzoh meal as a binder and thickener in foods like meatballs, meatloaf, and gefilte fish. It is also a key ingredient in matzoh balls and other baked goods, providing a distinct texture.

Health notes

Matzoh meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily a carbohydrate source. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flour products, but specific evaluations for matzoh meal's health effects at typical intake levels are not widely published.

Allergen info

Matzoh meal is made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
