The Sweet History of Lokum: A Timeless Ottoman Delight
Lokum, also known as Turkish Delight, originated in the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century and gained popularity in the 18th century. Its name comes from “rahat-ul hulkum,” meaning “comfort for the throat.” It became known in Europe in the 19th century and remains a beloved traditional sweet today.
