Turkish Delight has a soft, delicate, jelly-like consistency and is flavored with rosewater. Turkish delight or lokum is a family of confections based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios and hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; the cheapest are mostly gel, generally flavored with rosewater, mastic, or lemon.
In English, it was formerly called lumps of delight. Turkish Taffy is a packaged nougat candy sold in the United States from the 1940s through the 1980s.
Turkish Delight recipe is a traditional version of the classic Middle Eastern sweet. The resulting candy is delicately chewy and scented with rosewater. Real, good Turkish delight is soft, slightly chewy and lightly fragrant.
