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 Jacksonville,
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 Jacksonville, FL, 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 Jacksonville, FL.
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.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence blossomed down the stretch in the 2022 NFL season, and he’s looking forward to carrying that momentum into the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offseason program.
The Jaguars are hoping Lawrence gets a boost from their newest wide receiver – Calvin Ridley.
· CAM NEWTON SAYS HE’D BACK UP TUA TAGOVAILOA, JALEN HURTS, BRYCE YOUNG
· ALABAMA ROOTS: WHO REMAINS UNSIGNED IN FREE AGENCY?
· JAGUARS SIGN FLORENCE’S CHANDLER BREWER
Jacksonville obtained the former Alabama standout in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 1, but he couldn’t join the team until the NFL lifted his indefinite suspension on March 6.
Ridley missed the entire 2022 season after the NFL suspended him for betting on league games.
In his most recent full season, Ridley had 90 receptions for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020 for the Falcons.
Lawrence already has worked with Ridley.
“We have (thrown together) once, and I’m super excited,” Lawrence told media members after throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp’s season-opening game on Tuesday night. “We’re just excited to have him. He’s going to be another piece for this offense and our team, and just a good guy that we’re excited to bring into the locker room. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Jacksonville returns its top two wide receivers from the 2022 season. Christian Kirk had 84 receptions for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns, and Zay Jones had 82 receptions for 823 yards and five touchdowns. Also back after being franchise-tagged is tight end Evan Engram, who had 73 receptions for 766 yards and four touchdowns last season.
The Jaguars lost No. 3 wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. to the Detroit Lions in free agency. Jones caught 46 passes for 529 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games in 2022.
As Jacksonville won six of its final seven regular-season games to reach the playoffs last season, Lawrence had 12 touchdown passes and two interceptions with a passing-efficiency rating of 103.4. In the first 10 games of the 2022 season, Lawrence had 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions with a passing-efficiency rating of 89.7.
In the postseason, Lawrence threw four interceptions and the Jaguars lost another turnover on a punt as the Los Angeles Chargers built a 27-point lead in the first half of a Super Wild-Card Weekend game on Jan. 14. But Jacksonville came all the way back for a 31-30 victory sealed by a field goal on the final snap of the AFC playoff contest. With the Jaguars trailing 27-0, Lawrence completed 24-of-32 passes for 258 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the remainder of the game as Jacksonville rallied for its sixth consecutive victory.
The Jaguars’ first season under coach Doug Pederson ended a week later in a 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ridley hasn’t played in an NFL game since Oct. 24, 2021.
After missing Atlanta’s game on Oct. 31, 2021, Ridley issued a statement that read: “These past few weeks have been very challenging, and as much as I’d like to be on the field competing with my teammates, I need to step away from football at this time and focus on my mental wellbeing. This will help me be the best version of myself now and in the future. I want to thank my teammates, the entire Atlanta Falcons organization, our great fans, my friends and my family for all of their support during this time.”
Ridley did not play in the remainder of the 2021 season, and the NFL has said it was during this period away from the Falcons that he bet on games.
In 49 NFL regular-season games, Ridley has 248 receptions for 3,342 yards and 28 touchdowns. Only four other receivers in NFL history can match Ridley’s receiving stats through their first 49 games – Odell Beckham Jr., Marques Colston, Mike Evans and A.J. Green.
The Jaguars begin their voluntary offseason program on April 17.
“We’re pumped,” Lawrence said. “We’ll have a good crew there, and it’s such a cool time of the year. Everybody comes back, get to start building your team, building your foundation. I’m really excited to start that with all the guys.”

Apparently, Kyle Brandt of NFL Network isn’t too impressed with Trevor Lawrence.
In a tier ranking of AFC quarterbacks, the Good Morning Football host put the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 23-year-old quarterback in the sixth of seven tiers for the conference. It landed Lawrence in the same grouping as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Kenny Pickett, New England Patriots’ Mac Jones, and the Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ newly signed Jimmy Garoppolo and the Denver Broncos’ Russell Wilson were both ranked ahead of Lawrence.

Lawrence earned a spot in the Pro Bowl last season after finishing with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
The questionable ranking of the Jaguars quarterback drew plenty of reaction on social media, including from a few of the team’s receivers.

Lawrence’s 95.2 passer rating last season was fifth best in the AFC behind only Tagovailoa, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen.
Russell Wilson — who landed in the fourth tier of Brandt’s rankings — had a 84.4 passer rating last year after throwing 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his first season in Denver.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- – When a tropical storm or hurricane threatens Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida, it is important to take action quickly long before the storm arrives.
While long-term planning is important, there are some key things that need to be accomplished in the short-term.
Protecting your home
There is a lot to do to make sure your home is secure before a storm, especially if you live along the coast.
Board up windows and install hurricane shutters. Secure loose outdoor items and secure all exterior doors.
If evacuating, it is important to unplug electrical appliances, like TVs and radios. Refrigerators and freezers also need to be unplugged if there’s a risk of flooding.
If you instructed to do so in emergency managers or law enforcement, shut off water, electricity and gas before departing.
Determine your shelter options and consider your pets
Consider where you will ride out the storm. Be sure to have multiple options, including staying with friends and family and hotels.
If public shelters are your only option, be sure to know ahead of time what supplies will be needed.
Pets also need a place to ride out the storm. Make sure the hotel or shelter you’re planning on staying takes pets. And be sure to have supplies for your pets.
Ready supplies
When a storm is threatening, it is time to complete your supply kit.
Be sure not only to have food and basic needs, but other things like chargers and hygiene products.
Prescription medication also needs to be packed, and make sure to have enough to ride out the storm.
Make sure in the days leading up to the event, to have your phones charged and fill up and charge your vehicle.
Help your neighbors and elderly
It is important during a storm to make sure your neighbors and the elderly are prepared.
Check in with your neighbors to make sure they have prepared and if they need any extra assistance boarding up their residence.
The elderly may need assistance evacuating and completing a supply list.
And be sure to check in after the storm has passed.
Follow evacuation orders if given
The most important point is if an evacuation order is given for your area -- leave.
Don’t wait to see if the storm will intensify or change direction. It is possible, especially at beach and flood-prone areas, that flooding and high winds could cut off evacuation routes even before the worst of the storm arrives.
Leave with plenty of time to get inland before the start of the storm arrives.
It important to begin taking action steps at the first sign that a storm could threaten an area.
Taking an early lead will give you plenty of time to prepare your home and your family for the storm on the way.
