About Zanzibar halwa
Zanzibar Halwa is a traditional East African dessert deeply rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Zanzibar. Made primarily from wheat flour, sugar, clarified butter (ghee), and aromatic spices like cardamom, this dense confection boasts a distinctive chewy texture and glossy finish. Some variations include nuts like cashews or almonds for added richness and texture. While Zanzibar Halwa is celebrated for its indulgent flavors and unique preparation method, it is also a calorie-dense treat high in sugars and fats. The addition of spices, however, offers potential digestive benefits, and nuts can provide healthy fats and nutrients. This dessert is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and is often served during festive occasions or as a luxurious treat highlighting the diverse flavors of Zanzibar cuisine.
