Matzo is a type of unleavened bread traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Passover. It is made from simple ingredients: flour and water, which are mixed and baked quickly to prevent any rising. The bread is flat and crisp, symbolizing the haste with which the Israelites left Egypt during their exodus. Matzo is often used in various dishes, such as matzo ball soup and can be enjoyed plain or with toppings. It serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by the Jewish people and is an essential part of the Passover Seder meal, where it is eaten and discussed.
