Akide Candy (Traditional Hard Candy) 400G

Akide candy and Turkish delight are two of the most important culinary heritages of Turkey. Akide candy was invented in 16th century at a time when sugar was very expensive and more valuable than honey. The word “akide” comes from Arabic and means “faith and loyalty.” In Syrian Arabic dialect, it means “thickening, making a knot.” Therefore the candy that is made by boiling honey or sugar took on the name “akide.”
