Step 2
Take a look at the packaging. It should not be oily and other stains. This suggests that halva was stored incorrectly.

To test oriental sweetness with a wide range of parameters, choose a product in a transparent package.

Look at the structure of halva. It should not contain sugar crystals, if you do notice them, it means that the manufacturer, having decided to save money, reduced the amount of seeds or nuts, but increased the amount of sugar. In addition, when choosing halva, pay attention to the fact that it should be layered, not very hard. It should also be dry or slightly sticky, but never wet.
Step 4
Look at the color. There should be no dark spots on halva. If they are, then the halva was not stored correctly or the product has expired. The color of halva itself can be different, but it should not be very bright, as this indicates the presence of dyes.
Step 5
Try halva if you choose this product by weight. It should not taste bitter, if it is not sesame halva, it should not contain husks. On the teeth, it should crumble and exfoliate, but should not stick. Also, don't forget to ask about the expiration date.
