A Hebron family has maintained a traditional sesame seed candy-making craft for over 100 years, the Palestine News Network reported. Inside their factory in the ancient West Bank city, roasted sesame seeds release the same rich, earthy aroma that has characterized the operation throughout its history.
The family's continued production represents a rare preservation of Palestinian artisanal manufacturing in Hebron, where the trade has survived through generations despite broader economic and political pressures on local industries.
