matzo meal

Ground unleavened bread

Matzo meal is ground matzo—the unleavened flatbread eaten during Passover.

It serves as a flour substitute in Jewish cooking when leavened grains are forbidden, appearing in matzo balls, breading, and baked goods: She used matzo meal to bind the fish cakes.

The texture ranges from fine to coarse depending on the grind.
