Matzo

Matzo, also known as matzah or unleavened bread, is a thin, crisp flatbread traditionally eaten during Passover. It is made from flour and water, baked quickly to prevent fermentation and rising, symbolizing the haste in which the Israelites fled Egypt. Matzo has a crisp texture and round shape, and it can be plain or seasoned. It’s a central element of Passover rituals, representing humility and remembrance of liberation. Matzo is also used in various culinary dishes and snacks, appreciated for its simplicity and historical significance within Jewish tradition.
