About Halwa
Halwa is a popular dessert with origins rooted in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, though its precise recipe varies by region. Typically made with a base of semolina, wheat flour, or lentils, Halwa is cooked with ghee or oil and sweetened with sugar or honey. Additions like nuts, dried fruits, and cardamom enhance its flavor and texture. While it provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate-rich base, Halwa is also calorie-dense, often high in saturated fats from ghee and added sugars. However, the inclusion of nuts can contribute healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals, making it a richer treat nutritionally. Moderation is key, as its sweetness and richness can impact those monitoring calorie intake or maintaining blood sugar levels. Accessible and versatile, Halwa remains a beloved dessert across generations and cultures.
