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.

Middle Eastern Market Jacksonville, FL

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

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.

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.

There, the city approved in June a building permit for a 2,435-square-foot shell building now under construction. According to plans submitted to the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation, the restaurant will seat about 40 in its dining room and another 20 in an outdoor patio dining area. It will also include a drive-thru.

At Boulevard Crossing, Chipotle would join a rebuilt McDonald’s (2020), Starbucks (2021) and Wingstop (2022).

Chipotle is also considering a restaurant in Baymeadows, at 9172 Baymeadows Road, the vacant site of a former gas station, near Hardee’s and 4 Rivers Smokehouse.

According to plans submitted to JEA on Aug. 24, Chipotle plans a 2,431-square-foot, 60-seat restaurant with a drive-thru and patio at the site located at the intersection of Baymeadows Road and Western Way.

After debuting in the Jacksonville market in October 2008 with restaurants in Mandarin and the St. Johns Town Center area, Chipotle has opened at least 12 restaurants here, including the following since 2019: 9761 Argyle Forest Blvd., (November 2019), 50 Riverside Ave. (May 2020), 4495 Roosevelt Blvd. (March 2021), 463913 SR 200 in Yulee (June 2021), 1607 CR 220 in Fleming Island (July 2021) and 3860 University Blvd. W.

Last Time Out... The Presbyterian College volleyball team got in the win column on Saturday morning with a 3-1 victory (23-25, 25-16, 25-15, 25-23) over Austin Peay at the Big Orange Bash in Clemson, S.C… The Blue Hose were paced by senior Paige Cairns with a career-high 15 kills.

In the nightcap, the Blue Hose dropped a straight-set decision (22-25, 11-25, 20-25) to the host Clemson in the finale of the Big Orange Bash. Cairns led the offensive attack once again with 11 kills.

Head to Head... Georgia State holds a tight 4-3 edge on the Blue Hose as the Panthers took a five-set match from PC last year in Atlanta... Chattanooga has won the only prior meeting against PC in the DI era winning in straight sets during the 2016 season... PC and Jacksonville are tied 3-3 in the all-time series with the Blue Hose winning in straight sets during the 2018 season in the last head-to-head...

Big South Preseason Poll... The Presbyterian College volleyball team was tabbed fifth by the league coaches in the Big South preseason poll, as was announced on Wednesday by the conference office. The coaches voted junior outside hitter Dylan Maberry from High Point for the conference's Preseason Player of the Year and her teammate Maria Miggins as the league's Setter of the Year. Campbell's libero Claranne Fechter was named the Preseason's Defensive Player of the Year.

Scouting the Panthers... Georgia State enters the weekend with an 0-3 mark after dropping home matches to Marist, Auburn and Belmont last weekend. Julianna Truscott led the Panthers in the opening weekend with 42 kills on the offensive end while Erin Wyatt recorded 31. On the defensive end, Livy Kowalkowski totaled a team-high 61 digs and Kayla Broom led the way with 14 blocks.

Scouting the Mocs... Chattanooga begins the weekend coming off of a winless weekend that saw the Mocs drop contests against Santa Clara, Georgia and Troy. Natalie Tyson paced the Mocs last weekend with 26 kills. Paige Gallentine led Chattanooga defensively with 32 digs. The Mocs had 11 different players record a block last weekend in Athens.
