====Floss halva====
''[[Pişmaniye]]'' ([[Turkish language|Turkish]]) or ''floss halva'' is a traditional sweet, prepared in [[Kocaeli Province|Kocaeli]], Turkey, made by flossing thin strands of halva into a light confection. Made primarily of wheat flour and sugar, the strands are continuously wrapped into a ball shape and then compressed. The result is a halva with a light consistency, similar to [[cotton candy]]. Floss halva can be found in regular and pistachio flavors, and there are brands with [[halal]] or [[kosher]] certifications.


In Chinese cuisine, a floss-like candy similar to ''pişmaniye'' or ''pashmak halva'', known as ''[[dragon beard candy]]'', is eaten as a snack or dessert.

A raw version of halva also has become popular among proponents of raw food diets. In this version, a mixture of raw sesame [[tahini]], raw [[almonds]], raw [[agave nectar]] and salt are blended together and frozen to firm.<ref>{{cite book |last=Amsden |first=Matt |date=2006 |title=RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ialwGIyz0xQC |publisher=HarperCollins |isbn=978-0-06-084318-2}}</ref>
