Loukoum

Loukoum, also known as Turkish delight, is a soft, chewy confection popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Made from sugar, starch, and water, it has a gel-like texture and is often flavored with ingredients like rosewater, lemon, or orange. Once set, it is typically dusted with powdered sugar or desiccated coconut to prevent sticking. Loukoum is enjoyed as a sweet treat, often served with coffee or tea, and can contain added ingredients like nuts or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture. Its pleasant taste and delicate consistency make it a popular delicacy worldwide.
