Bayram Treats for Croydon Households
Sweets and chewing gum come into their own around Bayram, when children in Turkish, Kurdish and Cypriot households across Croydon expect a bowl of sweets by the door and older relatives hand out treats after the traditional hand-kissing greeting. Beyond that one occasion, the same products are everyday snacking staples, sold from corner shops across Turkey and picked up here to keep a small stock at home for guests or a sweet craving after dinner.
Falim, Kent and Bodrum Fill the Shelf
The sweets and chewing gum section runs to 25 products and covers everything from mastic gum to fruit sweets and grape-molasses snacks. Falim's mastic-flavoured sugar-free gum comes in packs of 20 individual pieces, and there is also a carbonated Falim Isil version for something different. Kent's Tofita cherry toffee is a familiar name for many, Bodrum's walnut dipped in grape molasses is a more traditional treat, and Haribo's gold bears, cola bottles and worms round out the range for anyone wanting a more Western-style sweet alongside the Turkish options.
Delivery to Croydon and the Surrounding Area
Orders are sent via DHL Express and typically reach Croydon addresses, including the CR, SE and SW postcode areas, within one to two business days, with the same delivery window covering nearby Enfield and Tottenham. Free delivery applies on orders of £60 or more, while a flat £5.99 charge covers smaller orders, and a tracking number arrives by email once the parcel has been dispatched, which is usually the same day for orders placed before midday on a weekday.
How These Sweets Fit Turkish and Mediterranean Cooking
Mastic gum has a long tradition in Turkish households, chewed after meals or used to flavour milk puddings, while grape-molasses treats like Bodrum's walnut sucuk are closer to a dessert than a sweet shop item and pair well with Turkish tea. Buying a mix of a few packets rather than a single large bag tends to work well for households wanting variety on hand, and dry sweets and gum keep well in a cupboard for months, making them an easy add-on to a wider grocery order heading to Croydon.

How is mastic gum used in Turkish cooking beyond just chewing it?›
Mastic, or damla sakizi, is also used to flavour Turkish milk puddings such as sutlac, giving them a subtle, slightly resinous aroma. In its packaged sweet gum form it is mainly chewed after meals as a breath freshener and digestive tradition.
What are some good pairings for grape-molasses sweets like walnut sucuk?›
Walnut dipped in grape molasses pairs naturally with a glass of Turkish black tea, much like a dessert course after a meal. It is also a common Bayram treat handed out alongside other sweets to visiting family and friends.
What sub-categories exist within sweets and chewing gum?›
The range spans mastic and carbonated chewing gums, fruit-flavoured toffees, grape-molasses traditional sweets, and Western-style options like fruit gum bears and marshmallows, giving a mix of classic Turkish treats and familiar sweet shop names.
Which brands are the key names in this category?›
Falim is the leading name for Turkish chewing gum, Kent supplies fruit toffees such as Tofita, and Bodrum makes traditional grape-molasses sweets. Haribo is also stocked for shoppers wanting familiar international sweets.
