What it is

Passover wheat flour and water is a simple mixture of flour made from wheat and water. It is specifically prepared to meet the dietary requirements for Passover, a Jewish holiday. This means it is made without leavening agents and adheres to specific preparation guidelines.

Why it's used

This ingredient is primarily used to make matzo, a type of unleavened flatbread central to Passover Seder meals. It can also be found in products like dumpling mixes or gefilte fish, where matzo meal (made from this flour) is used as a binder or filler.

Health notes

Wheat flour is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It provides carbohydrates and some protein. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for wheat flour itself, but it is a source of gluten. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various components of wheat, such as fiber and nutrients.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient contains wheat and is therefore not a major allergen-free product. It also contains gluten.
