About Lokum
Lokum, commonly known as Turkish delight, is a sweet, chewy confection originating from Turkey and neighboring regions. Made primarily from sugar, cornstarch, and water, it boasts a smooth, jelly-like texture. Traditional varieties are flavored with rosewater, citrus, or nuts like pistachios, while modern versions explore diverse flavors. Recognized for its cultural significance, Lokum is often enjoyed as a treat or offered to guests during special occasions. Nutritionally, Lokum is dense in calories and sugar, making it an energy-rich but non-nutritive food. While it contains minimal protein and fats, nut-filled versions may provide small amounts of healthy fats and nutrients. Eaten in moderation, Lokum can be a delightful indulgence, but its high sugar content is best enjoyed sparingly, especially for those monitoring weight or blood sugar levels. Its charm lies in its unique texture and flavors, reflective of its rich history and tradition.
