About Halava
Halava, also known as halwa or halvah, is a dense, sweet confection with origins in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Typically made from a mixture of ground sesame seeds or tahini, sugar, and sometimes honey, halava can include additions like nuts, dried fruits, or spices for flavor and texture. The sesame-based variety is rich in healthy fats, plant-based protein, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, offering some nutritional benefits in moderation. However, halava is also high in sugar, making it a calorie-dense treat that should be enjoyed sparingly, especially by those managing blood sugar levels or trying to limit added sugars. Variations of halava include flour or semolina-based versions from Indian cuisine, often enhanced with cardamom, ghee, or milk. As a versatile dessert, it’s celebrated for its satisfying texture and ability to incorporate wholesome ingredients while indulging the sweet tooth.
