About Turkish sweets
Turkish sweets, originating from the rich culinary heritage of Turkey, are beloved treats enjoyed worldwide. These desserts often feature key ingredients like nuts (pistachios, hazelnuts, or walnuts), honey, sugar, and dried fruits, encapsulating the country's diverse flavors. Popular examples include baklava, a layered pastry with syrup-soaked phyllo dough and nuts, and Turkish delight (lokum), a chewy confection made with sugar and starch, often flavored with rosewater or citrus. While these sweets provide quick energy from their high carbohydrate content, their refined sugar and calorie levels can be less ideal for those monitoring sugar intake. On the healthier side, the inclusion of nuts and occasionally natural sweeteners offers sources of healthy fats and antioxidants. Moderation is key to enjoying these decadent treats while balancing their nutritional impact. Turkey's time-honored techniques make these sweets an indulgent nod to history and tradition.
