More About Halva

It is believed that halva originated in ancient Persia around the 5th century BC. Depending on the ingredients used, halva is divided into two major groups.

• The first group includes halva made from the seeds of various oil‑bearing crops — most commonly sunflower or sesame, and less often peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, etc.
• The second group includes halva made from glucose, sugar, flour (semolina), and egg whites — the well‑known nougat halva.

The word “halva” is of Arabic origin. It is one of the most popular oriental sweets. Known since the 5th century BC, halva has been loved worldwide for its unique taste and qualities. Iran is considered its homeland, but throughout the Middle East there are many variations of its preparation.

More About Tahini

Sesame tahini is a superfood — a paste made from ground sesame seeds. When hulled seeds are used, the color is light; when unhulled seeds are added, the color becomes darker. Dark tahini has a slightly bitter taste but is more nutritious due to the vitamins and minerals in the hull. The benefits of sesame tahini are numerous:

• Rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. Iron and copper are essential for producing white blood cells, while zinc supports their function. Just two tablespoons can provide 25% of the daily requirement for iron, magnesium, and zinc.
• High in omega‑3 fatty acids, which reduce cholesterol levels, support heart function, and protect against cardiovascular diseases. Combined with manganese, they stimulate brain activity and the nervous system.
