Sunflower halva is popular in the former Soviet Union, Bulgaria, and Romania.
It’s made with roasted and ground sunflower seeds, instead of tahini. In the 1990s, Ukrainians produced around 4000/5000 tons of sunflower halva annually.
Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance produced by honey bees and some other Hymenoptera (such as wasps).
Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants (flower nectar) or the secretions of other insects (honeydew) by returning food, enzymatic activity, and evaporating water.
