Matzo
Matzo is a flat bread made in thin sheets made from white wheat flour and water with no leavener.

Despite the absence of leavener, Matzo bread isn't heavy. It is baked in very hot ovens so that air trapped in the dough expands and make the bread light. The bread comes perforated so it is easy to break pieces off.

Matzo is used a lot at Passover. It can be ground up into flour or meal.

It might look like a cracker and taste like a cracker, but don't call it a cracker: you'll scandalize people.

Nutrition
Matzo is not gluten free, as it is made from wheat flour.
