Turkish Delight, or Lokum, is a traditional Middle Eastern confection with a uniquely tender yet slightly chewy texture. Revered for centuries, it is a mixture of sugar, starch, flavorings, and often nuts, traditionally cut into small cubes and typically dusted with icing sugar to prevent sticking.
The taste of Turkish Delight varies depending on its ingredients. Common flavors include rosewater, lemon, or mint, but there are many more exotic variations as well. It's a delightful treat for those who appreciate global cuisine and history encapsulated in candy form.
