Popular Wheat delivered to London
Wherever Turkish, Cypriot and wider Mediterranean families have settled across the UK, a bag of peeled wheat for ashurah is never far from the store cupboard, and London is no exception. With Turkish-speaking communities scattered from Green Lanes to Enfield and Edmonton, keeping a proper pantry stocked with dried legumes and grains like wheat matters year round, not only around the Islamic New Year when ashurah is traditionally shared with neighbours.
What London Households Can Order
The wheat range covers several traditional forms rather than a single generic bag. Duru's peeled wheat is made specifically for ashurah, while Bodrum offers pounded split wheat for the same dish alongside natural whole wheat for soups and pilafs. Bodrum's roasted buckwheat and Duru's durum wheat, sometimes called hediklik in Turkish kitchens, cover the less common recipes that London's more established Turkish households still cook regularly.
Delivery Across London and Nearby Towns
DHL Express delivers dried grains like these to every London postcode area, from E and SE through to NW and W, typically within one to two business days. The same delivery reaches nearby towns such as Wood Green, Harringay and Hackney on the same timescale. Orders of £60 or more qualify for free delivery, and dried goods like wheat travel well without any special packaging, since they are shelf-stable and not chilled.
Practical Buying Tips
Wheat for ashurah is best bought in the 1kg bags most brands use, which is enough for a generous family-sized pot shared with several households. Because it is a dried, non-perishable product, there is no rush to use it immediately, and it stores for a long time in a sealed container in a normal kitchen cupboard. Buying two or three bags at once is common ahead of the ashurah season, when families in London often cook in bulk to share with relatives and neighbours across the city.
Wheat in London — frequently asked questions
Which wheat product should I choose for ashurah?›
Duru's peeled wheat and Bodrum's pounded split wheat are both made specifically for ashurah and are the most commonly used options. Either works well; the choice mostly comes down to personal preference for texture.
How should dried wheat be stored?›
Keep it in its sealed bag or an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from moisture. Stored this way it lasts a long time, and there is no need for refrigeration since it is a dried, shelf-stable grain.
What pack sizes are available?›
Most wheat products come in 1kg bags, which suits both single family cooking and larger batches. Buying a few bags together is common for households making ashurah for wider family or neighbours.
Is the wheat halal?›
Many products listed on the site are halal-certified, and this is stated clearly on each individual product page, so it is best to check the specific item before placing an order.
