Cautions on Making Molasses Sweets After Lime Video
The Islamic nation celebrates the Prophet's birthday, during which they enjoy a traditional sweet called "halawa," often made from chickpeas. A old video has been circulated showing the use of chickpeas in making the halawa after washing them in a solution containing calcium hydroxide (limestone), which has sparked controversy regarding the safety of this practice. Expert Dr. Shirin Zaki explained that soaking the chickpeas in the lime solution helps to soften them and remove the skins, but this alkaline substance can leave harmful residues, potentially causing stomach irritation, dental damage, and possible kidney issues, despite subsequent washing. Authorities warn against the dangers of using lime directly in the preparation of chickpeas for halawa, especially with the upcoming Prophet's birthday season.
