Recipe for A Raw Persian Superfood Dessert

Raw Halva Recipe by Liz in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Lifestyle Blogger

Raw Halva (Halva Sa’atwo) is one of my favorite desserts. It is made of raw superfoods. It’s a healthy dessert or snack that is good for energy and stamina. Raw Halva is perfect after a vigorous workout or on the days that you need wings but don’t want the added sugar or caffeine. So here’s the Raw Halva Recipe – Persian Superfood Dessert.

Vegan raw Persian dessert


Traditionally, Persian Halva is made of flour and butter, mixed with a syrup of sugar, saffron, rosewater, and cardamom heated in a saucepan. However, each region has its own version. In the southern city of Kerman, halva is made with raw ingredients and no added sugar.

This my grandmother’s recipe, which is quick and easy since no cooking is involved. It has four main ingredients that have to proportional in size: Tahini for protein and boost of energy; Dates for stamina; Rice provides fast and instant energy; and Almonds for high-quality protein. Sometimes, I add maca and ashwagandha powders to it.
