• Texture: Aplets & Cotlets have a slightly softer, fruitier texture due to the real fruit base.Turkish Delight is firmer and more gelatinous.
• Flavor profile: Aplets & Cotlets taste like natural fruit and nuts.Turkish Delight has classic Middle Eastern flavors such as rose, lemon, pomegranate, or pistachio.
