Ask Bio about this range · Wheat
Long before bulgur or flour, Turkish pantries kept a jar of whole wheat for aşure and hearty winter soups, and that tradition sits behind this small but purposeful Wheat range. It is the ingredient shelf that lets home cooks make the dishes their grandmothers made, rather than a substitute for it.
What the range covers
DURU supplies peeled wheat specifically for aşure (Noah's pudding) and durum wheat, known in Turkish as hediklik or diş buğdayı, used for hearty savoury dishes and keşkek-style meals. BODRUM contributes pounded split wheat also suited to aşure, roasted buckwheat for a nuttier grain dish, and natural whole wheat for soaking and slow cooking. With just five products and two trusted brands, DURU and BODRUM, this is a small but focused selection rather than a sprawling one, making it easy to pick the right grain first time.
How to choose, store and use it
Peeled wheat for aşure needs the least soaking and cooks down softly, which is exactly what that dessert calls for, while durum and natural wheat hold their bite better and suit soups and pilafs. Most whole wheat benefits from a few hours' soak, or overnight in the fridge, before boiling until tender; buckwheat generally needs less time than plain wheat. Keep any of these dry grains in a sealed container in a cool cupboard and they will store well for many months, well past the date most fresh produce would last. Buy the 1000g pack for regular use in soups or the aşure pot come the season.

Wheat — frequently asked questions
What is Turkish whole wheat traditionally used for?›
Peeled wheat is the base for aşure, a sweet multi-grain pudding traditionally shared in autumn. Durum and natural wheat are used in savoury soups and hearty dishes like keşkek, where the grain holds its texture after long cooking.
How do I pair wheat with other pantry items?›
Whole wheat sits naturally alongside dried legumes such as bulgur and pulses in soups, or with dried fruit, sugar and nuts for aşure. It is a base grain rather than a finishing ingredient, so it pairs with whatever the recipe calls for.
What sub-categories are near Wheat?›
Wheat sits within Dried Legumes, alongside Boulgur and dried pepper and aubergine for stuffing, so it is easy to build a full pantry order for Turkish soups, pilafs and mezze in one visit.
Which brands are available?›
DURU and BODRUM are the two brands stocked in this category, both established Turkish pantry brands offering peeled, durum, split and natural wheat plus roasted buckwheat, mostly in 1000g packs.
