What is the difference between white Turkish delight with walnut and regular Turkish delight?

What is White Turkish delight with walnut?
White Turkish delight with walnut is a traditional lokum made from sugar and starch, with pieces of walnut folded through it. Lokum has a long history in Turkish cuisine. Its soft, yielding chew and pronounced sweetness meet the walnut’s gently earthy, rich flavour. In Turkey, it is commonly offered with coffee, shared with guests during visits and holidays, or served alongside tea. Outside Turkey, it also makes a small sweet to pass around after a meal or enjoy with coffee.
It is chiefly a source of carbohydrates, while the walnuts add a little fat and protein. Enjoy a modest piece or two when you want something sweet; pairing it with unsweetened tea or coffee keeps the serving simple.
