Did you know?
Matzah is an essential part of Jewish Passover tradition, symbolizing the bread made in haste during the Israelites’ escape from Egypt.
It’s traditionally made in under 18 minutes from the time the water touches the flour to avoid fermentation.
Matzah can be ground into matzah meal or matzah flour for baking during Passover.
Though simple, it is calorically dense, so portions matter when used as a daily bread substitute.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Very low in fiber, which can lead to digestive discomfort when eaten frequently.
Not enriched, so it lacks many of the vitamins and minerals found in other breads.
May become monotonous during Passover when consumed daily.
Can be dry and crumbly, especially without toppings or dips.
