Part 5/7:
Sweets are an integral part of Moroccan food culture. The group eagerly tries a variety of Arabic sweets, including delicate pastries filled with nuts and sweetened with honey. Another highlight is the dates, which are abundantly available and enjoyed for their sweetness and nutritional value. The dates are often filled with nuts, making them a popular snack among locals and tourists alike.
One particularly interesting sweet is a type of turrón made from pumpkin seeds rather than the expected pistachios. Despite initial confusion, the group discovers that this version is deliciously caramelized and complements the slightly salty flavors of sesame seeds beautifully.
