FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do Matzo sheets last?
When kept in a sealed, airtight container in a dry place, Matzo can last for several months to a year.
Can Matzo sheets be frozen?
Yes, they can be frozen in airtight bags, though it is rarely necessary due to their naturally long shelf life.
What is a good substitute for Matzo?
Water crackers or saltines (if not for religious purposes) are the closest substitutes in texture.
Is Matzo gluten-free?
Standard Matzo is made from wheat and contains gluten. However, gluten-free versions made from potato starch or oat flour are available.
How do I pick the best Matzo?
Look for boxes that are not crushed and ensure the seal is intact to guarantee the sheets are crisp and not stale.
Why is Matzo flat?
It is unleavened bread, meaning it is made without yeast or rising agents, resulting in its cracker-like consistency.
How do I prevent Matzo from getting soggy in soup?
Add Matzo pieces to the soup immediately before serving rather than letting them sit in the liquid.
What are common dishes made with Matzo?
Common dishes include Matzo Ball Soup, Matzo Brei (fried matzo with eggs), and Matzo Toffee (dessert).
