Frequently Asked Questions About Sokum
What is Sokum?
Sokum is a Turkish-style sweet similar to lokum, or Turkish delight. It is typically soft and sweet, and recipes can vary in flavor, texture and added ingredients.
Is Sokum the same as Turkish delight?
Sokum is similar to Turkish delight, but the names do not guarantee an identical recipe. Its texture and ingredients can vary by maker or variety, so check the product description if you are looking for a particular style.
How is Sokum made?
Sokum is made in a lokum-like style by cooking a sweet mixture until it thickens, then letting it cool before cutting it into pieces. Recipes commonly use sugar and starch, with flavorings or nuts added in some varieties.
What does Sokum taste and feel like?
Sokum is sweet and usually has a soft, chewy texture similar to lokum. Its flavor depends on the variety: some pieces are flavored, while others may include nuts or other additions.
What flavors or fillings are used in Sokum?
Sokum may be flavored with ingredients such as rose, citrus or fruit, and some varieties include nuts. There is no single fixed combination, so the flavor and any filling depend on the specific type.
How do you serve Sokum?
Serve Sokum in small pieces, often alongside Turkish coffee or tea. Its sweetness makes it a common after-meal treat or a small offering for guests; it can also be arranged with other lokum-style sweets.
How should Sokum be stored?
Store Sokum in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place. Keeping it away from moisture and direct sunlight helps preserve its texture and prevents the pieces from sticking together.
Can you freeze Sokum?
Yes, Sokum can be frozen, although thawing may make it softer, stickier or more moist. Freeze it in an airtight container and thaw only the portion you plan to eat rather than refreezing it.
Why is Sokum sometimes coated with starch or sugar?
A light coating can help keep Sokum pieces from sticking to one another. The coating varies by recipe and product, so some Sokum may have little or none.
Can people with diabetes eat Sokum?
People with diabetes should treat Sokum as a sugary sweet that can raise blood glucose. Whether and how much to include depends on their individual meal plan, so they should ask their doctor or dietitian for personal guidance.

What is Sokum?
Sokum is a Turkish-style sweet with a soft, chewy consistency, similar to lokum. It is served in small pieces, and its exact texture and recipe can vary. The sweetness is its defining feature; per 100 g, it provides 90 g of carbohydrates, with very little protein or fat.
In Turkey, it is often offered alongside tea or Turkish coffee, and may appear on a sweets plate when guests visit or during celebrations. Elsewhere, it works as a small after-dinner treat or a sweet accompaniment to coffee. Its concentrated sweetness makes a modest portion a practical choice; pair it with an unsweetened drink or fresh fruit rather than another sugary snack.
