About Lokma

Lokma is a popular sweet treat hailing from Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines, often enjoyed as a dessert or festive snack. These bite-sized fried dough balls are traditionally made from a simple mixture of flour, water, sugar, and yeast. Once deep-fried to golden perfection, they’re soaked in a sticky sugar syrup or honey and sometimes dusted with cinnamon or crushed nuts for added flavor. While Lokma is rich in flavor and universally loved for its satisfying crunch and doughy center, it is calorie-dense due to the frying process and high sugar content. On the nutritional side, it provides quick energy from carbohydrates, but it lacks significant amounts of protein, fiber, or essential nutrients. Lokma is best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional indulgence, particularly as part of a balanced diet that includes nutrient-rich whole foods.
