Hand made traditional halva with almonds made by Kosmidis in Greece using a traditional recipe dating from 1924. This halva is made with premium tahini, almonds (10%), dextrose, fructooligosaccharides - but no added sugar. It is much less sweet than classic halva, and the fructooligosaccharides are prebiotic - i.e. they are beneficial to the bowel flora. This type of halva is traditionally eaten at the end of Greek Lent at Easter to break the fasting period. It is the best of the best - hence its name 'exairetiko' (which means 'excellent') It is a delicious, very nutritious and health snack or after-dinner treat. Halva is rich in important minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, B vitamins and healthy fats. For these reasons it is often used as a fasting food, and for giving energy and relieving fatigue.
