Turkish delight, known as "lokum," is a sweet confection originating from Turkey and widely enjoyed across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Traditionally made with sugar, water, and starch, this chewy treat is often flavored with ingredients like rosewater, lemon, or orange, and may include fillings like nuts or dried fruits. Its velvety texture and variety of flavors make it a beloved dessert or snack. While Turkish delight is free of fat and provides quick energy due to its high sugar content, it is not considered highly nutritious and should be consumed in moderation. The addition of nuts can enhance its protein and mineral content, offering some nutritional benefits. As a cultural delicacy, Turkish delight is often enjoyed as a special treat during celebrations or alongside tea.
