Turkish Delight, or lokum (also loukoum), is a confection made
from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater or
lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft,
sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in
small cubes that are dusted with sugar
to prevent sticking. Some recipes include small
nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts.
Though enjoyed worldwide, lokum is especially familiar in Turkish,
Armenian, Greek, Balkan, Iranian, and Middle Eastern
cuisines.
