enPekmez is a Turkish treasure trove of vitamins
Pekmez is a natural vitamin remedy that promotes health and energy. It is not only a treat but also a natural source of nutrients. In addition to its delicious flavor, pekmez serves as an important component of Turkish cuisine and culture.
Nowadays, pekmez is made from a variety of fruits: mulberries, figs, dates, persimmons, etc. However, in the classical sense, there are two types of pekmez: from grapes and from carob fruit. Grape pekmez has a sweeter flavor and not very thick consistency. Carob pekmez is considered to be healthier. It is thicker and richer, with a slight bitterness. Real pekmez is cooked over low heat without adding sugar. In sunny regions, it is sometimes simply soaked in the sun until the product is thick enough.
Turks use pekmez everywhere: for breakfast, as a vitamin supplement, in desserts and even bread. Even local doctors often recommend it as a natural remedy to fight anemia, especially in children. Children are quite happy to take such a delicious and sweet remedy! In many homes, the traditional combination of pekmez and sesame paste can be seen during breakfast. The pekmez adds sweetness and the sesame paste adds a nutty note. A great combination for a good start to the day!
