Why did people invent halva?
Do you think to make the life sweeter?
Noway!
This humble-looking sweet, considered to be the first hand-made one in the history, was once the unbeatable food supply for those who had to leave their homes and walk long distances through and to places where to get some food was not everyday chance.
Apart from its warm buttery unforgettable delicate sweetness halva possesses many advantages which make it perfect product for a globetrotter:
This dish can be found form India to Europe and is claimed as its own by practically every country and every culture in between.
But still more likely the land where halva was made and tasted for the first time was called Persia – ancient soul of Iran.
The world halva (Arabic: حلوى / ALA-LC: ḥalwà), means "sweet".
Halva (or halawa, alva, xalwo, haleweh, ħelwa, halvah, halava, helava,
helva,halwa, halua, aluva, chalva, chałwa, "حلاوة") refers to many types of dense,
sweet confections
Halva - if you're not already familiar with it - is a sweet dessert made of sesame or other seeds or nuts and honey or sugar caramel.
Pretty simple really, and as natural a sweet treat as you're likely to find.
It can be readily bought in health food shops, some supermarkets and ethnic food stores.
Seeds and nuts form a significant part of halva, making it a kind of healthy food.
But despite being made from entirely natural ingredients, this is a sweet food and is still high in sugars.
You'd have to have a mega-sweet tooth to be able to get through a lot of the stuff, so realistically a small bit of halva with your tea isn't going to do nasty things to your waistline or insulin receptors.
Anyhow, it’s main ingredients are calcium-rich and a source of vitamin B1 (thiamin), zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin E, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, folic acid, fibre and protein - more than can be said for a digestive biscuit.
Seeds keep inside the energy of life and the warmth of the Sun.
Skillfully turned into the sweet treat they readily pass their magic away along with pleasure and delight you feel when you eat this sunny dessert.
