Greek Sugar Free Halva - Vanilla - Hand Made by kosmidis, 2 x 450 gr Boxes (900 gr Total)

Description

Kosmidis halva is in our view the best in the world. This halva is made by hand in Piraeus using a traditional recipe brought over from Constantinople, and the company has been making halva continuously since 1924. This halva is made with premium tahini, 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. No palm oil, only sesame seed oil used
