About Candies, halavah, plain
Halvah is one of the oldest confections in the Middle East, made by pressing sweetened tahini into a dense, crumbly block. Plain halvah leans on sesame paste for both fat and a modest amount of protein, and carries more fiber than most candy. It's still primarily sugar and fat, but the sesame base gives it a more complex, slightly bitter depth that sets it apart from purely Western sweets.
