The Turkish coffee is often served along with a Turkish delight mainly for taste, but it is also known that the doctors recommend eating Turkish delight since it has various health benefits. Lifehack: if you have a sore throat, eating a marshmallow helps soothing it (I love science)! The common flavors are rose, (since Turkey is famous for its amazing-smelly roses), l emon, bitter orange, mastic, bergamot, cinnamon, pomegranate, saffron, chocolate and mint, but there are lots of other flavors as well.Д«asically, the Turkish delight is a bite of chopped walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, etc, covered with the gel of starch and rolled in coconut flakes, icing sugar, rose petals or more pistachio! (So it makes sense that it comforts your throat!). As mentioned above there are various types of lokum my favorite though are the ones that look and taste like marshmallow. The word lokum comes from Arabic rДЃбёҐat al-бёҐulqЕ«m, which means 'comfort for the throat'.

There are various types of lokum but the main shape is a cube usually covered with coconut flakes, pistachio, rose petals, icing sugar and many more. The Turkish delight aka 'lokum' in Turkish, is a confection made out of a gel of a starch and sugar. They are also a great gift/souvenir from this ancient land with its gorgeous beaches and historical places. The Turkish delight and of course, the Turkish coffee, are some of the things that pop into our mind when we think about Turkey.
