Recipe
Turkish delight (lokum) is prepared by thoroughly mixing sugar, starch, lemon salt, and water in a machine until a smooth consistency is achieved. Optional fillings are then added according to preference, and the mixing process continues. The mixture is poured into molds and left to cool. After resting for one day, it is cut into pieces. Finally, depending on preference, the lokum is coated with coconut flakes, hazelnuts, or pistachios before consumption. The abundance of carrots cultivated in Beypazarı has also contributed to the wide variety of lokum produced in the region.
