Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is a classic Mediterranean dairy product that is often enjoyed on its own, in Greek salads, on bread, or mixed with zucchini. Depending on where the feta is sourced and produced, the cheese can be made from cow, sheep, or goat milk, or even a combination of the three. Regardless of the animal it comes from, this delicious cheese is a crowd favorite.

Baba Ganoush

This Levantine dish is one of the most well-known Mediterranean dishes to eat in the United States. It typically comes in the form of a dip, served with pita or another kind of dipping bread. Commonly served before dinner as an appetizer of sorts, it usually features tahini, eggplant, garlic, spices, and sometimes yogurt. This tasty cuisine works great as a spread on a sandwich, or you can even eat it with a spoon, all on its own.

Baklava

If you have never tried authentic baklava before, get ready to have your mind blown. This dessert is a traditional Mediterranean food that will have your taste buds craving more and more. Once you open a box of baklava from our Mediterranean grocery wholesaler in New York City, NY, you won't want to stop eating! Baklava is made with layers of thin filo dough, which is layered together, filled with chopped nuts (think pistachios), and sealed with honey or syrup. Baklava is so good that its origins are debated, leaving many wondering which country invented the dessert. Everyone from the Turks to the Greeks and even Middle Easterners hold unique takes on baklava. Try each one to discover your favorite!

Most Popular Wholesale Middle Eastern Foods

Fresh, healthy, aromatic, rich: it's no wonder that the popularity of Middle Eastern cuisine and products has skyrocketed in the United States. This genre of cuisine features a large variety of foods, from Halvah to Labneh. If there were one common theme throughout all Middle Eastern food, it would be the bright, vibrant herbs and spices that are used. These flavorings help create rich, complex flavors that foodies fawn over. Typically, Middle Eastern food is piled high for all to eat, with enough food for an entire republic to put down.

Tabbouleh

This refreshing, healthy dish is chock-full of greens, herbs, tomatoes, and bulgur (or cracked wheat), creating a memorable, bold flavor. This dish may be eaten on its own or paired with a shawarma sandwich or helping of falafel. It's best to buy your ingredients in bulk to make this dish because it tastes best freshly made with family around to enjoy. Just be sure to bring a toothpick to the tabbouleh party - you're almost certain to have some leafy greens stuck in your teeth after eating.

Shawarma

We mentioned shawarma above, and for good reason - this dish is enjoyed by men and women around the world, and of course, right here in the U.S. Except for falafel, this might be the most popular Middle Eastern food item in history. Shawarma is kind of like a Greek gyro, with slow-roasted meat stuffed in laffa with veggies and sauce. The blend of spices and the smoky meat mix together to create a tangy, meaty flavor that you will want to keep eating for hours. For western-style shawarma, try using beef or chicken. For a more traditional meal, try using lamb from our Middle Eastern grocery distributor in New York City, NY.

Hummus

Traditionally used as a dip meant for fresh pita, hummus is a combo of chickpeas, garlic, and tahini, blended together until silky, smooth, and creamy. You can find hummus in just about any appetizer section of a Middle Eastern restaurant menu. That's because it's considered a staple of Middle Eastern food that can be enjoyed by itself, as a spread, or with fresh-baked pita bread. Hummus is also very healthy, making it a no-brainer purchase from our grocery store.

Benefits of Eating a Mediterranean Diet

If there's one diet that is most well-known for its health benefits, it has got to be the Mediterranean diet. In 2019, U.S. News & World Report listed the Mediterranean diet as No. 1 on its best over diet list. This incredible diet has been cited to help with weight loss, brain health, heart health, diabetes prevention, and cancer prevention.

Whether you already love Mediterranean food or you're looking to make some positive changes in your life, this "diet" is for you. Eating cuisine like Greek food, Persian food, Turkish food, and Italian food is healthy and tastes great. Even better than that? At Nazareth Wholesale Grocery, we have many staples of the Mediterranean diet for sale in bulk so that you can stock up on your favorites at the best prices around.

So, what exactly is the Mediterranean diet?

It is a way of eating that incorporates traditional Greek, Italian, and other Mediterranean cultures' foods. These foods are often plant-based and make up the foundation of the diet, along with olive oil. Fish, seafood, dairy, and poultry are also included in moderation. Red meat and sweets are only eaten in moderation, not in abundance. Mediterranean food includes many forms of nuts, fruits, vegetables, fish, seeds, and more. Of course, you can find at them all at our wholesale Mediterranean grocery store!

Here are just a few of the many benefits of eating a healthy Mediterranean diet:

Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Reduced Risk
of Heart Disease

Many studies have been conducted on this diet, many of which report that Mediterranean food is excellent for your heart. Some of the most promising evidence comes from a randomized clinical trial published in 2013. For about five years, researchers followed 7,000 men and women around the country of Spain. These people had type 2 diabetes or were at a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Participants in the study who ate an unrestricted Mediterranean diet with nuts and extra-virgin olive oil were shown to have a 30% lower risk of heart events.

Reduced Risk of Stroke for Women

Reduced Risk
of Stroke for Women

In addition to the heart-healthy benefits of a Mediterranean diet, studies have shown that eating healthy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods can reduce the chances of stroke in women. The study was conducted in the U.K., which included women between the ages of 40 and 77. Women who stuck to the Mediterranean diet showed a lower risk of having a stroke - especially women who were at high risk of having one.

1.

Instead of unhealthy sweets like candy and ice cream, try eating fresh fruit instead. It's refreshing, tasty, and often packed with great vitamins and nutrients.

2.

Try eating fish twice a week, in lieu of red meat. Fish is much healthier and doesn't have the unfortunate side effects of red meat, like inflammation.

3.

Try planning out your meals using beans, whole grains, and veggies. Don't start with meats and sweets.

4.

They're tasty, but try to avoid processed foods completely.

5.

Instead of using butter to flavor your food, use extra virgin olive oil instead. Olive oil contains healthy fats and tastes great too.

6.

Try to get more exercise and get out of the house. The Mediterranean lifestyle is an active one, best enjoyed in the beautiful sunshine when possible.

Why Buy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Products Wholesale?

Buying wholesale and retail are quite different. When you buy products from a wholesaler, you're essentially buying from the middleman between a retail establishment and the manufacturer. Wholesale purchases are almost always made in bulk. Because of that, buyers pay a discounted price. That's great for normal buyers and great for business owners, who can sell those products to profit. This higher price is called the retail price, and it is what traditional customers pay when they enter a retail store.

DETROIT (AP) — The New York Knicks picked up some needed scoring punch Thursday, acquiring Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic from the Detroit Pistons.

The Knicks sent Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, Malachi Flynn, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks to the Pistons in the deal before the NBA’s trade deadline.

The Knicks are playing without their entire starting frontcourt of All-Star Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson because of injuries, and have been seeking to replace some of the bench scoring they lost when they dealt Immanuel Quickley to Toronto along with RJ Barrett in the deal for Anunoby in December.

They found it in Burks, who played well in a previous stint for the Knicks, and Bogdanovic, a reliable outside shooter.

“He is an elite scorer who has solidified himself as one of the best shooters in the NBA, which will complement our team,” Knicks president Leon Rose said of Bogdanovic in a statement. “Alec played an integral role throughout our 2020-21 playoff season, understands and embraces the culture here and will bring a lot of value to our group.”

Burks has scored 12.7 points per game in 1 1/2 seasons with the Pistons, slightly above the 12.1 he averaged in two seasons with the Knicks. He scored 25 points Tuesday in Detroit’s surprising victory in Sacramento.

Bogdanovic is averaging 20.2 points and shooting 41.5% from 3-point range.

The Knicks are 16-3 since Anunoby joined the starting lineup Jan. 1 and the latest trade could give them enough to break free of a three-way logjam with Cleveland and Milwaukee for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference behind Boston.

The Pistons, who have the worst record in the league, were busy ahead of the trade deadline. They got former Knicks starters in the deal, with Grimes — also currently injured — a reliable contributor off the bench but Fournier having fallen out of the rotation entirely.

The Pistons also acquired forward Simone Fontecchio from the Utah Jazz in exchange for Kevin Knox II, the rights to Gabriele Procida and draft considerations, and requested waivers for 2020 first-round pick Killian Hayes.

Detroit drafted Hayes with the No. 7 pick overall four years ago and the French-American guard didn’t pan out for the long-suffering franchise, averaging 8.1 points despite averaging more than 26 minutes a game over his career.

The 6-foot-5 Hayes averaged career highs last season with 10.1 points and 6.2 assists per game. He recently fell out of the playing rotation behind second-year guard Jaden Ivey and first-round pick Marcus Sasser.

FOREST HILLS, Queens (WABC) -- An e-scooter shop in Forest Hills, Queens, was discovered selling and even manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, the FDNY said.

Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh announced the discovery of "Frankenstein Batteries," or battery packs built from individual lithium-ion battery cells that are used to alter or replace old ones in violation of fire codes.

The inspectors cleaned out Wilson's E-Scooter Shop on Queens Boulevard and properly disposed of the battery packs and lithium-ion cells.

Sixty battery packs and hundreds of individual lithium-ion cells were recovered. Approximately 25 e-scooters and 25 combination electric and gas mopeds were also recovered.

Five drums were packed for removal of cells and seven e-scooters were seized by the NYPD for exceeding the 20 mph limit rule.

As firefighters removed the lithium-ion batteries, some began to fail and ignite and had to be extinguished. Multiple fines and violations were issued at the business.

Kavanagh and others held a news conference outside the business to demonstrate the difficulties and dangers it poses for the FDNY and the public.

"They hold a tremendous amount of power in a small space," Kavanaugh said of the batteries. "That's what makes them dangerous and they explode."

Earlier Thursday, a fire in a Brooklyn apartment building that injured two firefighters was caused by lithium-ion batteries.

70 current and former employees at nation’s largest public housing authority charged in historic federal bribery bust

CNN —Federal prosecutors in New York have accused 70 current and former employees of the nation’s largest public housing authority of bribery and extortion for allegedly pocketing more than $2 million in cash payments for no-bid repair contracts.In what Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, called “the largest single-day bribery takedown in the history of the Justice Department,” the scheme involved nearly a third of New York City’s 335 public ho...

CNN —

Federal prosecutors in New York have accused 70 current and former employees of the nation’s largest public housing authority of bribery and extortion for allegedly pocketing more than $2 million in cash payments for no-bid repair contracts.

In what Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, called “the largest single-day bribery takedown in the history of the Justice Department,” the scheme involved nearly a third of New York City’s 335 public housing developments – home to one in 17 New Yorkers.

The defendants, arrested in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and North Carolina, “allegedly used their jobs at NYCHA to line their own pockets” on no-bid repairs contracts under $10,000, Williams said in a statement Tuesday.

“NYCHA residents deserve better,” Williams said. “The culture of corruption at NYCHA ends today.”

New York City Housing Authority CEO Lisa Bova-Hiatt said in a statement the defendants “put their greed first and violated the trust of our residents, their fellow NYCHA colleagues and all New Yorkers.”

“These actions are counter to everything we stand for as public servants and will not be tolerated in any form,” she said, adding the agency will cooperate with law enforcement “to rid the Authority of malfeasance.”

The defendants allegedly demanded about 10% to 20% of the contract value, or between $500 and $2,000 depending on the size of the contract, prosecutors said. Some defendants demanded higher amounts. They awarded more than $13 million in faster and smaller no-bid contracts awarded from designated staff at the developments where the work was to be performed.

At least five of the 70 current and former housing authority employees charged Tuesday were involved in bribery and extortion schemes dating to 2013, prosecutors said.

The city’s housing authority – plagued for decades by lead paint hazards, rat infestations, inadequate heating, and broken elevators – receives more than $1.5 billion in federal funding each year.

The charges against the 70 defendants included solicitation and receipt of a bribe, extortion, destruction of evidence, false statements, and conspiracy offenses, according to prosecutors. The developments where the defendants allegedly sought bribes are in all five of the city’s boroughs.

In a statement, New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber said the city housing authority has agreed to “significant reforms” to its no-bid contracting process as a result of the case.
