What is Rose pistachio Turkish delight?
Rose pistachio Turkish delight is a variety of lokum, the chewy confection associated with Turkey, flavoured with rose and studded with pistachios. Its soft, yielding texture contrasts with the nuts’ gentle crunch, while the floral sweetness is distinctive without needing a rich filling or topping.
In Turkey, it is commonly offered to guests and served in small pieces with Turkish coffee or tea; it is also enjoyed by Turkish communities and sweet shops around the world. It is mainly a carbohydrate-rich sweet, with 85 g of carbohydrates per 100 g.
