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.

Description

Pounded Wheat, also known as dövme buğday or yarma, is a natural and nutritious grain made by removing the husk of whole wheat and pounding it into coarse pieces. Unlike bulgur, pounded wheat is not precooked, preserving its rich fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. This wholesome grain is widely used in traditional dishes like keşkek, soups, pilafs, and salads, making it a versatile and healthy addition to any kitchen.
