Halawa Bawady, a variation of the traditional Middle Eastern halva, is a sweet confection typically made from tahini (ground sesame seeds) and sugar or honey, often flavored with vanilla, nuts, or spices. Originating in the Levant region, this dessert is deeply rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine and is widely enjoyed across the Arab world and Mediterranean countries. Its key ingredient, tahini, is a nutrient-rich source of healthy fats, protein, calcium, and selenium, offering potential benefits for heart and bone health. However, Halawa Bawady is high in sugar and calories, making it a less suitable choice for those monitoring their sugar intake or weight. Consumed in moderation, it can be a delightful way to enjoy the flavors of sesame alongside traditional regional tastes. Popular as a snack or dessert, this treat represents a blend of indulgence and cultural tradition.
