Raw Halvah

My dear friend, Amy Oscar, who by the way is editing the Rawmazing Dessert Cookbook, sent me a raw food recipe for raw Halvah that she created. I was thrilled with the idea as sesame seeds, the main ingredient are extremely loaded with nutrients. I put a little Rawmazing twist on the recipe, including a chocolate ganache topping.

 

 

Sesame seeds are loaded with calcium. One quarter cup provides over 1/3 of the RDA for calcium. They are also rich in magnesium and copper. The oil in sesame seeds is resistant to rancidity. They are also high in fiber, and contain lingans, which are fibers that are thought to lower cholesterol.

Amy also has a wonderful website, AmyOscar.com. She writes amazing uplifting stories and has a deep and beautiful insight into life.

    I just have a quick question before i begin: sesame seeds-they need reduce powder before or we use the whole seed?

    Nice idea with the coconut oil/butter! – I’m about to try this!- except with soaked sesame seeds blended in their soak-water ,…I soak all seeds, n thought I’d whack up the information that makes me do so, as its vital info that should b circulated much as possible!…Seeds have protective enzymes coating them naturally, -n lets face it…who really wants to wear their jaw out chewing f ages in order to actually get to the goodness part!- especially with such tiny seeds as sesame! ?- so yeah…this is wot I’ve found out…hemp seeds take like a day soaking! -worth it for putting in bread tho 😀 Pumpkin n sunflower seeds?- 1 hour soaking, not too bad…n sesame 4 hours …
    Defintly worth it.. seeds multiply over a dozen times in nutrient strength once activated this way! !!! Haha,anyway, thanks for the info on here everyone, n hope I inspire people too! – power to the seeds ye’all! !! Wahoooo!!!

    Just to let you know I enjoyed it a lot.
    Easy to make but difficult not to eat all in one sitting, especially chilled

    Thanks for the recipe

    Hi Susan,
    thanks a lot for sharing your wonderfull raw recipes with us. That’s very nice and i am very gratefull
    for that.

    As a vegan i don’t use honey and i wonder wether sustituting the honey with Agave will work.

    Thanks again 🙂

    Susan, all your recipes are fab. Can I use almond butter instead of coconut butter?

      Substituting almond butter will not work. You need the coconut butter to help it set up. Cheers!
