Halva is a popular sweet of the East. It is made from sugar and seeds or nuts. Although there are many ways to prepare it. This is carrot halva, semolina, pistachio, corn, peanut, sesame, potato, millet, pumpkin, and honey … And this is not a complete list of varieties of this amazing dessert.
This delicacy is quite high in calories, because it contains proteins, vegetable fiber and fats. However, when consumed in moderate doses, the sweetness will even be beneficial to health. Today I would like to present to your attention halva, the taste of which is familiar to us from childhood - from sunflower seeds. But before I tell you the recipe, I want to dwell on the beneficial properties of sweetness. It turns out that many favorite sunflower seeds contain a lot of vitamin E, B and D groups, and magnesium. They are considered an excellent prophylactic agent for diseases of the cardiovascular system. Seeds help with liver and biliary tract diseases, and also reduce the risk of cancer. I think that the above is more than enough to cook halva on your own at home. Moreover, the delicacy is guaranteed to give a charge of energy and vigor for the whole day.

Cooking sunflower halva
1. Place the peeled seeds in a clean, dry frying pan.
2. Fry them over medium heat until golden brown. In this case, do not forget to stir regularly, because seeds without husks are fried much faster and can burn, which will spoil the taste of halva.
3. Pour the bran into another dry skillet. You can use any of them: rye, linseed, oat, etc. In addition, if you do not have this product or for medical reasons you cannot use it, then you can exclude bran from the recipe. In this case, simply for the given amount of ingredients, increase the volume of sunflower by 50 g.
4. Roast the bran over medium heat until light golden brown. Stir them constantly and make sure that they do not burn.
5. Transfer 2/3 of the toasted seeds to a food processor, coffee grinder or chopper.
6. Beat the seeds until fine crumbs.
7. In a bowl, combine the seeds (whole kernels and chopped) and bran.
8. Add honey and pour in vegetable oil.
9. Mix food well and place in any convenient form covered with cling film. Tamp the food tightly. Silicone muffin cups can be used. Then they do not need to be covered with anything, and the product will be easy to extract.
10. Put halva in the refrigerator to cool and solidify. Then remove from the mold, cut into pieces and start drinking tea.
According to the same recipe, you can make halva from any kind of nuts and seeds.
