Most Popular Wholesale Mediterranean Foods
There is so much more to Mediterranean food than pizza and pasta. The perfect climate combined with delicious foods and amazing wine makes the Mediterranean incredibly irresistible. That's why our customers absolutely love to buy this kind of cuisine in bulk. Every country in this region has its own set of specialties and delicacies, each with its own flavors and styles of preparation.
Mediterranean countries include:
- France
- Greece
- Italy
- Turkey
- Syria
- Egypt
- Israel
- Libya
- Morocco
- Tunisia
- Spain
So, when it comes to the most popular wholesale Mediterranean products in Colorado Springs,
what are we talking about?
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 Colorado Springs, CO, 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 Colorado Springs, CO.
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
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
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.
Benefits of Eating a Mediterranean Diet
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.
Try these tips:
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.

Folklore Irish Pub, a concept restaurant and bar that opened earlier this year in downtown Colorado Springs, officially closed its doors this month.
The business announced its closure on Facebook on Oct.8.
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Folklore Irish Pub. After a most challenging year it’s financially not able to continue," said a post shared to the business' Facebook page on Oct. 8.
Folklore Irish Pub opened back in March, replacing the Lucky Dumpling concept at 26 S. Wahsatch Ave. The Irish-themed pub was owned by local celebrity Chef Brother Luck and Sean Fitzgerald, the owner of Allusion Speakeasy and Wobbly Olive.
The restaurant shared the same space as the Tipperary Cocktail Parlor, which will "continue to serve some of the best cocktails and mocktails in the city with a limited menu starting Wednesday thru Saturday (4pm -12am)," the post said.
The Studio, another of Luck's restaurants located in the space above Irish Folklore and Pub, is listed as permanently closed on OpenTable, an online service used to make restaurant reservations. Luck's website describes the restaurant as a "intimate retreat" with a "carefully curated menu."
The Studio, which was reached via a staircase on the west side of the building, featured a private dining room where Luck and his chefs would "prepare unique, upscale rotating menus for 24 diners," The Gazette previously reported.
The Facebook post said The Studio would still be available for all upcoming private events.
"We are deeply grateful for the heartfelt enthusiasm we've received from our community and customers. Your unwavering support made this journey worthwhile," the announcement said.
Luck's flagship restaurant, Four by Brother Luck in downtown Colorado Springs, serves up Southwestern fare. He is also currently offering online cooking classes. Various membership options are available.

COLORADO SPRINGS — The annual Boo at the Zoo at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo kicks off on Friday for families looking to get in the Halloween spirit.
The event will include a haunted house for all ages, 25 treat stations, a pumpkin patch, a spooky graveyard, and much more. Several zoo attractions and exhibits, like giraffe and bird feeding, will be open for families as well. Families are encouraged to dress up in costumes and bring treat bags for this unique trick-or-treat event.
Boo at the Zoo is the zoo's biggest fundraiser with around 20,000 people attending last year. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is one of the few zoos in the nation that is accredited but doesn't receive any tax support. It relies on fundraisers to provide care for animals, zoo improvements, and conservation efforts.
Rachel Wright, a spokesperson for the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, said events like this one really help them out.
"We love welcoming everyone to the zoo because it's really a direct connection for people to make so you come to the zoo, you have an excellent time but you're also making an impact for wildlife and wild animals," said Wright.
This year Boo at the Zoo is happening on Oct. 20-22, Oct. 27-29, and Halloween night from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are selling quickly with both Saturday nights, Oct. 21 & 28, already sold out. Tickets are only available in advance online and can be purchased here.
The zoo says costume masks and weapons may not be work by guests 12 years and older. Masks worn by those younger must have openings that allow the eyes to be seen. Balloons are also not allowed inside the Zoo for the safety of the animals.____

The XIX Pan American Games 3x3 Basketball competition begins this weekend in Chile. Team USA is led by Colorado Springs native, Canyon Barry.
The Cheyenne Mountain alum found out he made the national team earlier this month and said he never takes representing our country and the 719 for granted.
Basketball is in the Barry family's blood and Canyon said he took a few tips from his dad, NBA legend Rick Barry, ahead of the tournament.
Plus, Canyon is confident in his teammates and their ability as he'll play with the same squad that represents USA Basketball as "Team Miami" on the FIBA 3x3 Men's World Tour.
"Our team has been working really hard all year on the professional circuit playing under the USA banner with Team Miami," Barry said. "To now be able to switch out those jerseys for the USA ones means a lot, it's the same goal every time you put on those letters."
The goal is to bring that gold medal home with hopes of earning an automatic bid to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Barry's team will find out their Olympic fate on November 1st, but first Team USA open with Group A to play against Mexico and El Salvador on Saturday. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals on Sunday. ___
