About Halawa

Halawa, also known as halva, is a dense, sweet confection widely enjoyed across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian cuisines. Traditionally made from ground sesame seeds (tahini) blended with sugar or honey, it often includes nuts, spices, or flavorings like pistachios or chocolate. Rich in calories, Halawa is both a source of quick energy and offers nutritional benefits such as healthy fats, protein, and vitamins from the sesame seeds. However, its high sugar content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those watching their sugar intake. This treat is often served as a dessert or snack, providing a rich, satisfying taste and a glimpse into the culinary traditions of its regions of origin.
