JERUSALEM, March 30 (JTA) — Health-conscious Israelis can look forward this Passover to spreading the traditional charoset on organic matzah.

Association officials said the price of the unleavened bread, made from wheat that was not treated with any chemical fertilizers, would be about 30 percent more than the run-of-the-mill matzah.
