Turkish Delight Pistachio Candy, 16oz (Pack of 1) Vegan Snack Box | Lokum, Middle Eastern Sweets, Gluten Free Candy Variety Pack, Delicias Turcas, Small Gift Box, Kosher Dessert, Halal Food

I have been eating Locum since I was a boy. My Grandfather was born in Istanbul Turkey. I was born in the Bronx New York. My Dad's Dad would always buy my two favorite Locum flavors; Rose and Pistachio. Hazer Baba's Locum hands down has the Two best Authentic Original Flavors exactly the same as my "Papu" used to get it. Hazer Baba's Locum has my two Favorite Flavors. Rose and Pistachio. The Texture and Softness including Freshness is all there, and the powdered Sugar is Perfect! Hazer Baba Turkish Delight Is Perfect. It's the Best in my opinion!

Actually really good. I didn’t think I would like it but wanted to try it. My fiancé hates pistachios and he ate 5 in one sitting. The texture is amazing. The only bad thing is you get powdered sugar everywhere. I think it’s a bang for your bucks if you want to give it a try. I still have my box for a quick sweet treat.

I purchased the candy as a gift for a friend and tasted one piece. The individual pieces are smaller than I expected (3/4" square) and had a pleasant taste. The texture was chewy as described. Considering the ingredients I think the candy is expensive.

Turkish delight has been a favourite ever since I read about it in C.S Lewis's The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and tried it. I've tried many brands, and I've learned over the years that Turkish Delight with pistachios is the best. The pistachios are an antidote to all the sugar. Hazer Baba brand is great. The box contains an inner box which slides out. The Turkish Delight is wrapped in wax paper, 32 pieces in all. You will inevitably get some powered sugar spill. Hazer Baba Turkish Delight contains no gelatin so it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is on the chewy side rather than soft (like other brands I've tried) and that's fine with me. The pistachios ameliorate the sweetness--also another feature I like. Serving size is 3 pieces (I only eat one piece at a time). Calories per three piece serving= 150. Total carb=37 g. Fiber=1 g and Sugar=30 g Protein 1 g per serving. This package has a seven month expiration date. Anyway delicious, and in common with all Turkish Delight, it's to be savoured and best not to eat too much at once.

There is a pistachio flavor, but zero whole pistachios or even pieces as in the picture. Was happy with the overall level of sweet taste -- not too over the top like some candy, and the gel has a nice texture, but it's outdone by the other features. Messy like you'd expect with the powder on them, and after 3-4 pieces, the corn starch just overwhelms the flavor too much.

they're one of my dad's favorite candies and made a great gift for him. it's the first time we've had Turkish Delight that has vanilla flavoring, but it works SO well with the roasted pistachios. tastier to our American pallets than traditional rose, mint, and citrus/lemon we can get at our local Middle Eastern grocery store that has been out of stock for months now. I'll definitely buy these again. the box was sealed well inside and out, with no powdered sugar leaking out everywhere. the candies were fresh and firm-chewy (not too hard, not too soft). I just wish they had more pistachios uniformly; some have many and some only have a few inside.

I can't think of any better delicacy for treating oneself. It takes a certain slowness to really savor Turkish delight -- so much to enjoy. First there is the powdered surface, next there is the texture, which is hard to describe, but suffice it to say that the longer it stays in your mouth, the more subtle flavor emerges. Enjoyed slowly and with appreciation, the flavor changes, becoming richer, sweeter, more fragrant. This particular style with the pistachios is great b/c the nuts are a counterpoint: crunchy and salty vs sweet and chewy. I first learned to love this treat from my aunt, who has lived many years in Greece, and learned herself to enjoy Turkish Delight in that culture, where a gift of this sweet is traditionally enjoyed among friends and family -- as hospitality gift, holiday gift, friendship offering, quintessential dessert with a strong dark coffee as a chaser (hot drink enhances the delicious melting.)

Not the same as bought from turkey airport. The product was stale even though the expiration date still has 6 months to go. Product was hard and did not taste good.

This lokum is really the best, full of pistachios and so tasty, I'm so happy to be able to purchase it from Amazon 😁

SERVICE AND QUALITY

Fresh and really tasty

The product is not bad but it is very expensive. I can't say anything as it says 100g (which i only realised later on) so the information given on the product is correct . One small sweet, square shaped, actually costs almost a pound as there are only 8 pieces inside. Plenty of much much cheaper options available so avoid!!!!!!!

Heaven in a box, what more can one say.
