Halva – A Traditional Sweet with High Nutritional Value

The halva produced by Cretan Halva is not just a delightful sweet snack but also a source of valuable nutrients. Thanks to the use of sesame as the main ingredient, halva provides the body with:

• Protein – essential for tissue building and regeneration.
• Fiber – supporting proper digestive function.
• B vitamins – crucial for energy metabolism and nervous system function.
• Vitamin E – acting as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
• Minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron) – supporting bone, muscle, and circulatory system health.
• Healthy unsaturated fats – beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Cretan Halva halva is distinguished by its natural composition, and its taste and texture result from the use of traditional production methods. Sesame, the foundation of halva, is rich in lignans and antioxidants, which support the immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, halva is not just a sweet pleasure but also a valuable component of a balanced diet.
