Halvah is a traditional dessert food found in the Middle East, Central Asia, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. The word halva comes from "hulw", the Arabic word for "sweet." This is a good description, for it is traditionally a very sweet and dense dessert. It is prepared differently all around the world with some recipes using tahini and others using semolina.
A Raw Superfood Halvah Recipe!
We make our halvah recipe out of tahini, which is sesame seed butter. Raw tahini is especially high in calcium when it is not refined or cooked.
Because no cooking or heating is involved, you can easily prepare this treat in a rush. It takes only a few minutes to harden in your freezer before slicing or you can eat it straight by the spoonful, if you can't wait!
All halvah when traditionally made is cooked and often uses processed sweeteners that degrade the health quality of this, otherwise, healthy dessert. Many recipes also use egg whites and flours.
We use hemp seed flour, maca root powder, shatavari and touch of shilajit. And, oh yeah, don't forgot the bee pollen!
This is probably the purest halvah recipe you will come across, using as little processing as possible. You simply blend the nut flour, mix together the ingredients and "whala", you have a great superfood halva recipe ready to go to a last minute party or potluck.
