About Sesame halva

Sesame Halva is a sweet confection made primarily from tahini (sesame paste) and sugar. Originating in the Middle East, it is a popular treat across many cuisines including Turkish, Arabic, and Balkan traditions. The texture is dense and crumbly, often enjoyed plain or infused with flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or nuts. Sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, making tahini a nutritious base ingredient. However, halva's high sugar content contributes to its calorie density, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Its blend of nutty richness and satisfying sweetness makes it a unique dessert or snack, but those watching sugar intake should be mindful of portion sizes.
