Chilled items & warm-weather notice
We ship chilled (perishable) foods with ice-gel packs, kept refrigerated. In warm weather, light oil sweating on cured products such as sucuk/pastırma, or softening of cheese, is normal and not a sign of spoilage — it returns to normal once chilled. Please refrigerate items immediately on delivery and be available to receive your order on the delivery day.
Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.
A quiet hero of the kitchen, the Basak 200 Gr Wheat Starch is one of those essential pantry items you will reach for again and again. Wheat starch is a fine, smooth powder used to thicken sauces, soups, puddings, and desserts, giving them that silky, glossy finish professional cooks love. Produced by Başak, a trusted Turkish brand known for reliable baking and cooking staples, this wheat starch delivers consistent results every time. At Turkish Online Market UK, the Turkish Online Grocery & Food Supermarket UK, we are pleased to bring this versatile cooking essential straight to your home.
Wheat starch is prized for its excellent thickening power and neutral flavour, making it ideal for both sweet and savoury recipes. It dissolves smoothly and creates a clear, glossy texture without altering the taste of your dish. The handy 200 G pack is perfect for everyday cooking and baking, and a little goes a long way. Whether you are making a classic Turkish pudding, a velvety soup, or a luscious custard, this starch helps you achieve a beautifully smooth, lump-free result.
To thicken a dish, dissolve the wheat starch in a little cold water or milk first to form a smooth paste, then stir it gradually into your hot mixture while whisking continuously. This prevents lumps and ensures an even, silky consistency. Continue cooking gently until the mixture thickens to your desired texture. Always add it slowly and keep stirring for the best, smoothest results.
Wheat starch is the secret to many beloved Turkish desserts. Use it to make creamy puddings such as muhallebi or sütlaç-style milk desserts, where it gives that signature smooth, spoonable texture. It is also wonderful for thickening fruit sauces, custards, and creamy fillings for pastries and cakes. On the savoury side, use it to thicken soups, gravies, and sauces to a luxurious consistency. A small amount transforms a thin sauce into a rich, restaurant-quality finish.
