                                According to Jewish law, the mitzvah (commandment) of eating matzah at the Passover Seder can only be fulfilled with matzah made from one of five specific grains. This is the core reason why gluten-free matzo, when made from alternative starches, is not kosher for Passover for sacramental purposes.
