Lokum (Turkish Delight) is a soft, chewy confection made from a base of sugar, cornstarch, and water, often flavored with rosewater, lemon, or mastic, and filled or dusted with nuts like pistachios, hazelnuts, or walnuts. Believed to have originated in Istanbul during the late Ottoman period, it became a refined sweet served during tea time, religious holidays, and as gifts. Lokum is still widely sold in pastry shops and tourist bazaars, especially in decorative boxes.
