About Lukum

Lukum, commonly known as Turkish delight, is a traditional confection originating from the Middle East, particularly Turkey. Made from sugar, starch, and water, it has a soft, chewy texture and is often flavored with rosewater, citrus, or nuts such as pistachios and walnuts. While its simplicity makes it appealing, Lukum is high in sugar and should be enjoyed in moderation. It provides a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate content but lacks significant nutritional value, including fiber and protein. Some variations may include nuts, contributing small amounts of healthy fats and vitamins. Gluten-free and naturally free from common allergens like dairy, Lukum is a sweet treat enjoyed worldwide, often alongside coffee or tea. However, its high sugar content makes it best suited as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular snack.
