Passover Wheat Flour & Water

Passover wheat flour and water is a simple mixture used to make matzah, a type of unleavened flatbread. It is made from wheat flour and water, mixed and baked quickly to prevent leavening. This ingredient is specifically prepared to meet the dietary requirements for Passover, a Jewish holiday.

This ingredient is primarily used as the base for matzah, which is then incorporated into various products like matzah ball and soup mixes, or used as a coating mix. It provides structure and a neutral flavor to these foods.

Wheat flour and water are basic food staples and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. As a carbohydrate source, they provide energy. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for wheat flour itself, but recommends limiting refined grains as part of a healthy diet. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various components of wheat, but no specific evaluations for this mixture are noted.
