Liz and David from House of Halva on Growing Up With This Sweet Treat in the Middle East to Opening Their Own Halva Shop in Minnesota.

Liz and David grew up in Russia and Israel as children, and
always enjoyed a slice of halva during the day. When they arrived
in Minnesota in 2015, they noticed the lack of halva options
around them and decided to create their own store using their
families recipe. In this episode, you will learn the origin of
halva and discover it's many health benefits. Liz and David have
a mission to make halva the number one dessert in the U.S. and
will leave your mouth watering with their many recipes, tips and
memories of childhood foods. Featuring the song "Howling the
Night Away" by Ian Valor & The Vendettas.

David and Liz are the founders of House of Halva, and also a
husband and wife team. Growing up, they both enjoyed halva, a
traditional dessert enjoyed throughout the far east. Halva is an
exquisite, delicious, gluten-free and vegan confection. The main
ingredient is sesame paste, or Tahini. Halva is at the same time
crumbly and flaky, and comes in many fantastic flavors. 
When they moved to Minnesota, they couldn't find halva anywhere,
so they thought "why not introduce this amazing dessert to
America?" It took them years but they finally made the leap and
pursued this dream. Their team continues to grow and now includes
a 3-year old- daughter and a cavalier king charles spaniel. Learn
