Lebanon Valley 16 fl. oz. Sugar Free Plain Halva

Halva (halvah, halawa, alva, haleweh, halava, helava, helva, halwa, halua, aluva, chalva) is a dense, sweet confection served in many parts of the world. Halva can be kept at room temperature with little risk of spoilage. It can be eaten as is or used in specialty recipes. Diabetic halva has been especially prepared for people suffering from diabetes mellitus. In diabetes mellitus, sugar-based products cannot be consumed because there is not a sufficient amount of insulin in the body. Therefore, naturally-sourced sweeteners are used which do not require insulin which has a sweet, sugary taste.  Halva can be stored at room temperature; however, during hot summer months, it is better kept refrigerated, as it can turn runny after several days.

Ingredients: 

ground sesame, sweeteners (maltitol syrup, sorbitol), halawa extract, citric acid and flavors.
