How to make delicious homemade halva: much better than store-bought

Halva is a dessert that can often be found in the store, but which is very rarely prepared at home. And all this is quite a waste because the technology is extremely simple. Besides, you only need a few budget ingredients.

The idea of making delicious homemade halva was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Valeria Velihura (yummy.lera). It is very important that the seeds are fresh.

• sunflower seeds – 400 g
• sugar – 200 g

• salt – a pinch
• powdered sugar – 1/2 tsp of powdered sugar ⠀

Method of preparation:

1. Peel the sunflower seeds.

4. Combine sugar with water and bring to a boil.

5. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes (to a temperature of 115-120 degrees).
