Halva

Halva is a traditional sweet treat enjoyed in many cultures, made primarily from ground sesame seeds orother nuts and seeds. It often combines these with sugar or honey, resulting in a dense, crumbly or creamy texture. Variations include recipes with chickpeas (such as Turkish semolina halva or Indian suji halva) and other ingredients like spices, nuts, or dried fruits. The flavor can be nutty, sweet, and mildly aromatic. Halva is often served during festivals, special occasions, or as a comforting snack, appreciated for its rich taste and cultural significance across the Middle East, South Asia, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe.
