So, when it comes to the most popular wholesale Mediterranean products in Arlington,
what are we talking about?
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.
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.
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 Arlington, TX, 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!
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.
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.
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 Arlington, TX.
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.
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:
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.
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.
First and foremost, purchase your Mediterranean and Middle Eastern wholesale foods from Nazareth Grocery - we're always updating our inventory! Getting started on this healthy, delicious diet is easy.
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.
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.

Though Lake Arlington has now in its sixth decade of existence, it remains the focus of a persistent urban history myth: That flooding rains in April 1957 inundated the then-new reservoir so quickly from Village Creek runoff that all kinds of construction equipment had to be abandoned and remains at the lake bottom today.
Former Arlington Utilities Director John Kubala, now deceased, frequently debunked the myth in both public talks and media interviews. Since he participated in the planning process for the lake and was present when it filled, it would be prudent to accept his information as accurate, though there's this: The lake-bottom-full-of-construction-equipment myth has a contrarian life of its own and persists no matter what.
"What did happen was that the rains came so rapidly that we had to blow up an old bridge over Village Creek after the lake filled (near Bowman Springs Park), as well as an old silo," Kubala said in one such interview.
That myth cleared up, Lake Arlington and Village Creek nevertheless have colorful histories. The "Village Creek" name, for instance, evolved from a number of Native American settlements along the creek, which was also the location of what is billed as the last battle with Indians in Tarrant County - The Battle of Village Creek in May of 1841 commanded by Gen. Edward Tarrant, who would end up being the namesake for the county. A Methodist Church just below the lake dam now occupies the approximate battle spot, "approximate" because reports of the conflict portray it as a sort of moving battle of men on horseback
Former Mayor Tom Vandergriff became an advocate for the lake based on the city's growth projections and the revelation that a growing General Motors plant would eventually need more water than all the city's wells could provide. This area and most of Texas were in the midst of a massive drought and foes of the lake dubbed it "Vandergriff's Folly." Luckily for Vandergriff, and Arlington, the area received more than 50 inches of rain in 1957, so much coming in April alone that the lake filled, a transition from "Vandergriff's Folly" to "Miracle Lake." Vandergriff was always a gifted politician, but also clearly a fortunate one.

On Monday night, the Arlington community celebrated the dedication of the City’s newest public gathering space – Rotary Dream Park in Downtown.
The park dedication was the culmination of Arlington Parks & Recreation’s year-long centennial celebration.
The .619-acre Rotary Dream Park, located at 151 N. Center St. north of the Union Pacific Railroad, features two large sculptures generously gifted to the City of Arlington. Other amenities including a stone paving public gathering space, bench seating at the corners of Center Street and Mesquite Street, pedestrian lighting and lighted walkways, landscaping, trees, grass-sloped open spaces and a lighting system to highlight the DREAM sculpture.
MESA Design Group served as project consultant, while The Fain Group was the general contractor. Arlington's newest park was not funded by property taxes. All aspects of this park, from the land acquision to development to the amenities, were provided by the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation, donations by the Rotary Club of Arlington and Downtown Arlington Management Corporation, settlement funds, and park fees paid to the City by private developers to build out the public park system.
“We’re excited to celebrate this unique, iconic new public space in Downtown Arlington,” said Parks and Recreation Director James Orloski. “We’re very thankful for the contributions of our partners who made this park possible, including Downtown Arlington Management Corporation, Rotary Club of Arlington, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation and AT&T. We’re excited to have the community join us as we dedicate this new park and celebrate the end of our centennial year for Arlington’s parks system.”
The Rotary Club of Arlington donated “Boundless,” an interactive sculpture created by Jen Lewin, in June 2023. The vertical element of the sculpture represents an homage to the iconic Rotary emblem. The large, leaning gear-shaped sculpture features infinity mirrors on both sides that light up in hundreds of colors as visitors interact with it.
Additionally, the Downtown Arlington Management Corporation donated the DREAM sculpture, which has been on display near Levitt Pavilion Arlington since 2015. The 54-foot-long and 12-foot-tall sheet metal sculpture, created by artists Laura Kimpton and Jeff Schomberg and initiated for Arlington by Bob Pruitt, was relocated to the new park earlier this month.
“I will forever be grateful for First Baptist Church’s willingness to host DREAM for so many years, and for the Downtown Rotary’s efforts in creating a more prominent location for the sculpture,” said Tony Rutigliano, former President and CEO of Downtown Arlington Management Corporation when the sculpture was brought to the city.
The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation contributed $25,000 toward the DREAM sculpture in 2015.
Maggie Campbell, current president and CEO of Downtown Arlington Management Corporation, said the sculpture’s rightful, permanent home is the hill of the new Rotary Dream Park.
“The Downtown Arlington Management Corporation has been the proud steward and organizer for bringing DREAM here, and taking care of it all these years until we were ready to make a permanent place for it,” Campbell said. “This Rotary Dream Park is going to be another centerpiece of public space for our downtown, thanks to everyone who shared the vision and helped support this investment in public art.”
The City acquired the land for Rotary Dream Park thanks to a 1999 agreement with AT&T, formerly Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, who contributed the funds used for the park’s acquisition.
ARLINGTON, Texas – Football fans traveling to North Texas for the Cotton Bowl Classic between the University of Texas and ...
ARLINGTON, Texas – Football fans traveling to North Texas for the Cotton Bowl Classic between the University of Texas and Ohio State University on Friday may encounter more than just southern hospitality.
A significant winter storm is forecast to sweep across the country this week, bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain to the southern U.S. The storm will begin to come together over Texas from Tuesday night to Thursday, coinciding with the College Football Playoff semifinal game being held in the state.
"We are closely monitoring travel conditions into the city, especially as we prepare to host fans and teams for the Cotton Bowl," said Kevin Oden, the director of emergency management and crisis response in Dallas. "Our priority is ensuring safe travel for the teams and their fans visiting Dallas in the Metroplex, allowing them to enjoy their time here safely."

While organizers are currently maintaining Friday's 6:30 p.m. kickoff time, the impending storm could potentially disrupt travel to AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The weather may be a hurdle, but once fans are inside the climate-controlled stadium, it's game on for No. 8 Seed Ohio State and No. 5 Seed Texas.
(FOX Weather)
Cotton Bowl officials tell FOX Weather that they are routinely monitoring weather reports and are in close contact with stadium and local officials.
"We always have plans for inclement weather," said Scottie Rodgers, vice president of communications for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. "Should conditions warrant it, we will communicate to everyone attending and connected with this year’s Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic."
The FOX Forecast Center said the brewing storm will bring snow and ice to areas farther south than last weekend's storm, threatening Dallas, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville and Atlanta before potentially turning toward the Northeast.
(FOX weather)
Massive travel delays are likely along the Interstate 35, 20 and 40 corridors. Dallas, which averages only 1.6 inches of snow annually, will likely see more than a year's worth of snow, the FOX Forecast Center said.
The storm could be the biggest snowstorm since Feb. 11-12, 2010, when Dallas received an all-time single storm record of 12.5 inches of snow. Driving south on I-35, cities like Austin and San Antonio may encounter freezing rain that would make roads treacherous.
