Reply To: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach?

I don’t know if anybody has the historical data to show what percentage of yidden ate the various types of matza. Personally, my family used Streits Machine Shmura for the Sedorim and 18 minute the rest of Pesach. Slowly, as my sisters and I learnt in yeshiva we were taught that many held hand shmura to be a hiddur and we started using that for the sedorim while still using machine matza. The big change for us was tasting whole wheat hand shmura matza. We liked the taste and found that it was better for our digestive systems. We then switched to only whole wheat hand shmura and have continued using it since. As I stated previously, my children know that machine matza is not chametz and many others eat it for pesach.
