So, when it comes to the most popular wholesale Mediterranean products in Atlanta,
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 Atlanta, GA, 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 Atlanta, GA.
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.

ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock announced that five Social Security Administration offices in Georgia were set to be closed as the Trump Administration moves to overhaul the federal government and its staffing and expenses.
According to the senator’s office, the SSA branches in Brunswick, Columbus, Gainesville, Thomasville and Vidalia will all be permanently closed.
The senator’s office also said that Georgia had, among all 50 states, the most SSA offices to be closed so far.
“For millions of Georgians, Social Security provides a baseline of support and stability. It ensures our seniors, who’ve spent decades paying into the program, can afford rent, groceries, and medication. Permanently closing five Georgia Social Security offices will make it harder for Georgia seniors, especially in rural areas, to enroll in the program, solve payment issues, report fraud, and more,” Warnock said in a statement.
As of January, there were 241,510 Social Security beneficiaries in Georgia.

Warnock said that the closure would impact Georgians significantly and that “money taken away from Georgia seniors will go towards tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. I will use every avenue available to fight back against this reckless action and remain focused on getting our seniors the benefits they paid for and rely on to live safe, healthy lives.”
The news comes amid reports that the Social Security Administration’s workforce could downsize by as much as 50%, according to the Associated Press.
TRENDING STORIES:
Citing sources, the AP reported Thursday that the SSA would be laying off at least 7,000 of its employees. Currently, the administration has 60,000 employees, but another source, speaking anonymously, told the AP that the staffing reductions could be as high as 50%.
On Thursday, the SSA said they will be implementing an agency-wide restructure, including “significant workforce reductions.”
In addition to “massive reorganizations,” including “abolishment of organizations and positions, directed reassignments, and reductions in staffing,” some employees will be offered opportunities for voluntary reassignment or voluntary separations and early retirements.
The SSA said employees must sign up for voluntary separation by noon on March 14 and leave the agency by April 19. Other employees may be placed on administrative leave through April 19 as well.
The SSA also said that even when volunteering to leave, the incentive payments to do so are not guaranteed.
Channel 2 Action News has reached out to the Social Security Administration about how staff and residents would be impacted by the closures.
In response to those questions, an SSA spokesperson provided the following statement:
“We are working with GSA to review our leases and ensure they are used efficiently. Most of the leases we are not renewing are for small remote hearing sites that are co-located with other Federal space. As the majority of our hearings are held virtually, we no longer need as many in-person hearings locations. In fact, in FY24, twenty percent of these offices held no in-person hearings. Other offices are non-public facing, being consolidated into nearby locations, or we had planned to close. Social Security continuously monitors and evaluates the use of our office space to maximize efficiency for the American taxpayer. Please contact GSA if you have further questions.”

ATLANTA, GA — Severe weather is expected to pound the South Central and Southeast regions, including parts of Georgia, next week, weather officials predicted Friday. That could pose problems for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the nation's busiest airport.
Thunderstorms and strong wind gusts that could cause dangerous travel conditions along the Interstate 20 and Interstate 30 corridors, according to an AccuWeather forecast released Friday.
Meteorologists say the linear storms could arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday in the regions.
Then, parts of the Florida Panhandle, northern Florida, southeastern Alabama, southern and central Georgia and southern and central South Carolina may be at a moderate risk for severe thunderstorms, AccuWeather stated.
Isolated tornadoes, hail and localized damaging wind gusts of 65-75 mph are possible through Wednesday in these areas, AccuWeather stated. This may generate hazardous travel conditions along I-10 and I-20 on Wednesday, weather officials said.
AccuWeather is anticipating hundreds of flight delays and cancelations across South Central and the Southeast from Tuesday through Wednesday night. These disruptions could impact airports in Houston, Texas, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Atlanta.
"Delays and cancellations at hubs like Houston and Atlanta can lead to a cascading effect at smaller airports throughout the country," AccuWeather stated.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service's timeline predictions for the storms mirrored that of AccuWeather's. The NWS said some storms may be strong.
North and central Georgia will undergo a fire watch from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday due to northwest winds of 10-20 mph and relative humidity levels between 20 and 25 percent.
"Due to low humidity and breezy winds, in addition to dry fuels, any fires that develop could spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged," the NWS said in the alert.
Temperatures are expected to be in the lower 60s to upper 70s.
Around 1:40 p.m. Friday, the National Weather Service predicted the following detailed forecast for metro Atlanta:
This Afternoon: Sunny, with a high near 68. West wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph.
Tonight: Clear, with a low around 48. West wind 5-10 mph.
Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 68. West wind 10-15 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 33. North wind 10-15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 54. Northwest wind around 5 mph.
Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 35.
Monday: Partly sunny, with a high near 60.
Monday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 45.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 67.
Tuesday Night: A chance of showers, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 1 a.m. Low around 57. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent.
Wednesday: Showers likely. Partly sunny, with a high near 71. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent.
Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 40.
Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 55.
