Lokoum is a delightful Turkish treat, often known as Turkish delight. Made from a base of sugar, starch, and flavorings, lokoum is infused with scents and tastes like rosewater, lemon, or pomegranate, and often sprinkled with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking. Originating from the Ottoman Empire, this confectionery embodies centuries of culinary tradition. While lokoum can be high in sugar, it's also naturally gluten-free and often contains nuts, providing healthy fats. Indulging in lokoum is a sweet way to savor a piece of history and culture.
