DESCRIPTION
Turkish delight is one of True Treats’ most-loved candy! It tastes a little like a jellybean center with a soft, rich texture and delightful flavor, whether you’re getting our mixed fruit, rose, lemon, or pomegranate. Not only are Turkish delights delightful, as the name says, but they are all natural, vegan, made in small batches.
What is the story of Turkish delight?
Turkish Delight was a medicine first, then a candy! It was originally sold in 10th century apothecaries as a treatment for sore throat. In the 1700s, a Turkish sultan loved it, and word spread about how tasty it was. A version of Turkish delight was even enjoyed in the U.S. Colonies.
In the 1860s, a Bostonian coated a candy with a hard sugar shell and sent it to Union soldiers during the Civil War. The name of that candy…the jelly bean!
Turkish delight was the first in a line-up of other so-called gum candies such as gum drops (1805), Wine Gums (1909), and gummy bears (1922). Eventually, Turkish Delight appeared in the beloved "Chronicles of Narnia."
All natural. 10 pieces in a recyclable, heat sealed bag with the history on the label.
