Halva is a dense, sweet confection enjoyed in various cuisines, primarily Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and South Asian. Traditionally, it is made from sesame seed paste (tahini) or semolina, combined with sugar or honey for its signature sweetness. Variations may include nuts, dried fruits, or spices, adding unique textures and flavors. Rich in history and flavor, halva is known for being energy-dense. Sesame-based halva contains healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and iron. However, its high sugar content can make it a calorie-heavy indulgence, so moderation is key. Often enjoyed as a dessert or a snack, halva offers a balance of nutritional benefits and sweetness that has made it a cherished treat for centuries.
