About Matzo

Matzo is a crisp, unleavened flatbread made from flour and water. It is eaten as a bread and can also be broken or crushed for use in other preparations; this entry refers to the baked flatbread, not matzo meal.

The sheets are dry and brittle, with a plain, lightly toasted flavour. Matzo is available in whole sheets and broken pieces, and thickness or flour choice can vary by product.
