About Turkish delight
Turkish Delight, or "lokum," is a traditional confectionery originating from Turkey and popular across Middle Eastern cuisine. It is typically crafted from sugar, cornstarch, and water, with flavorings such as rosewater, lemon, or pomegranate, and often contains nuts like pistachios or hazelnuts. These soft, chewy cubes are dusted with powdered sugar or desiccated coconut to prevent stickiness. Turkish Delight is high in carbohydrates and sugars, making it an energy-dense treat, though it is largely devoid of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. While it offers a quick energy boost, its high sugar content makes it less suitable for those monitoring sugar intake or managing conditions like diabetes. Moderation is key, as overconsumption can contribute to calorie surplus and potential weight gain. Turkish Delight embodies a rich culinary heritage, but it should be enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
