About Turkish deligh
Turkish Delight, or "lokum," is a traditional sweet from Turkish cuisine, dating back centuries as a signature confectionery of the Ottoman Empire. Typically made from sugar, cornstarch, and water, it forms a jelly-like texture. Variations often include flavors like rosewater, lemon, orange, or mastic, while some feature nuts such as pistachios, walnuts, or hazelnuts. The cubes are commonly dusted with powdered sugar or coconut flakes. Turkish Delight is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but it is high in sugar content, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Flavors with added nuts can provide small amounts of healthy fats and protein. While appreciated as a cultural delicacy, consuming too much can contribute to excess calorie intake. Turkish Delight is most enjoyed alongside tea or coffee in Turkish traditions and carries a sense of indulgence and festive celebration.
