Halawa Extra, Large

Halawa, known in Lebanon as halawi, is a traditional sweet made mainly from tahini (sesame paste) and sugar, with a dense, crumbly texture. This is the large size, sold by the piece. Halawa is a familiar part of the Lebanese breakfast table, often eaten with bread or kaak, alongside a cup of tea, or as a quick snack at any time of day. Some people enjoy it plain, while others crumble it over desserts or pair it with fruit. You can find large halawa on the shelf at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and a solidarity initiative that aims to keep basic goods affordable while reducing waste, and customers are encouraged to bring their own containers when they visit.
