Foodie tips

Get more out of every meal.

Tip

Genuine saffron (safran) from Safranbolu should be deep crimson with an intense aroma — cheap yellow substitutes are common

Tip

Lokum (Turkish delight) is best bought fresh from small artisan shops rather than vacuum-packed souvenir boxes

Tip

Siyez wheat (an ancient grain variety from Kastamonu region) products — bread, pasta, pilaf — are a regional health food worth trying

Tip

Wednesday market in Karabük is the best place for local village honey (süzme bal) and regional cheeses at non-tourist prices
