Fig Turkish Delight with Antep Pistachios 250g | Fig Lokum

Fig Turkish delight with Antep pistachios is a traditional Turkish sweet that pairs the soft, honeyed chew of fig lokum with whole Gaziantep pistachios. Known in Turkish as Antep fıstıklı incir lokumu, it is a regional take on classic lokum (rahat al-hulqum / loukoum): instead of the usual clear gel cubes, the base is built around sweet figs and studded generously with green pistachios from the Gaziantep region of southeastern Turkey, prized for their deep flavour and colour.

The texture is what sets fig lokum apart. It is soft and chewy rather than firm, with the natural stickiness of fig giving each piece a dense, fudge-like bite, while the pistachios add a buttery crunch and a nutty finish. The result is less sugary than plain rose or lemon Turkish delight and reads more like a confection of fruit and nuts held together in a tender lokum body.

This is an everyday treat as much as a gift. Serve it alongside Turkish coffee or black tea, the traditional pairing across Turkey and the Gulf, where the richness of the fig and pistachio balances a strong, unsweetened cup. Cut a piece into halves to share on a dessert plate, set it out for guests with coffee, or keep a box on hand for an afternoon sweet. It travels well, which makes it a natural choice for gifting and for stocking a pantry of Turkish sweets.

Each box contains a 250 g (net weight) selection. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; reseal after opening to keep the lokum soft.

Allergen information: contains pistachios (tree nuts). May contain traces of other tree nuts. Please check the on-pack label before eating if you have a nut allergy.
