Halawa Extra, Small

Halawa, also known as halva, is a traditional sweet made mainly from tahini (sesame paste) and sugar, giving it a crumbly, fibrous texture and a nutty taste. This is Halawa Extra in a small size, sold by the piece. In many Lebanese homes halawa is a breakfast staple, spread or crumbled onto bread, often alongside tea. It is also eaten on its own as a quick sweet snack, and some people add it to desserts or pair it with fruit. You can find Halawa Extra, Small 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 to refill essential products.
