What is Üçel tahini halva made of?
Üçel tahini halva is made primarily from tahini, a paste of ground sesame seeds, with sugar and other ingredients used to create its firm, crumbly texture. The exact recipe can vary, so use the package ingredient list if you need to identify a particular ingredient.
How do you eat Üçel tahini halva?
