About Cyprus delight
Cyprus Delight, known locally as "loukoumi," is a traditional sweet treat rooted in Cypriot and broader Mediterranean cuisine. Made primarily of sugar, water, starch, and flavorings like rose, lemon, or bergamot, it is often dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Some variations include nuts such as almonds or pistachios for added texture and taste. While its simple ingredients make it a vegetarian and gluten-free dessert, Cyprus Delight is high in sugar, making it a source of quick energy but unsuitable for those monitoring their sugar intake. Its modest portion sizes, however, allow it to be enjoyed as an occasional indulgence. Rich in cultural heritage, this confection remains a beloved symbol of Cyprus' enduring culinary traditions.
