Halva Recipe: A Symbolic Persian Dessert for Loss and Healing 💔😢

Halwa or Halva, a traditional Persian dessert, is especially cherished during religious ceremonies and times of loss in Iran. Unlike classic flour-based Halva, Halva Shirazi is made with rice flour, giving it a soft, delicate texture. Its vibrant yellow color comes from saffron, an iconic Persian ingredient, while the combination of saffron and rosewater creates a melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Halva is often served at memorial services as a symbol of comfort, healing, and remembrance, bringing families together during moments of reflection.
