From Crunch to Cream—Lokum Lokum Climate Change, One Bite at a Time In a world where climate change increasingly shapes every aspect of life—from the ingredients we use to the way we treat our planet—what if a beloved treat could do more than delight your taste buds? Enter lokum, the global treasure known as Turkish delight, now evolving through an innovative lens: climate-conscious crafting, bold flavor innovation, and a commitment to sustainability—one fruity, creamy bite at a time. The Changing Landscape: Lokum in a Warming World Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s a pressing reality touching agriculture, water supply, and biodiversity. For a dessert rooted in traditional ingredients like shameli (rosewater), nuts, and sugar—many sourced from regions vulnerable to shifting weather patterns—the impact is tangible. Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall challenge the cultivation of key components: sumac, citrus, and aromatics that define authentic local lokum flavors.
