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 Memphis, TN, 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 Memphis, TN.

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.

Bachelor was formerly the Juvenile Court magistrate and a Shelby County judicial commissioner. Bachelor attended Tennessee State University, the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys Law School, the University of Memphis School of Criminology and Memphis Theological Seminary.

She will assume the role on March 1, and serve the remaining four years of Anderson's term.

Who was nominated?

Out of the 13 applicants for the position, the commission nominated Bachelor, Loyce Ryan, Dewun Settle, John Marshall, Reagan Fondren, Kathryn Mozingo and Mischelle Alexander-Best.

The first round of nominations saw Bachelor and Ryan receive three votes each and Marshall and Fondren received two each. The other nominated applicants were removed from the voting.

On the third round of voting, Bachelor was selected with nine votes, with Fondren receiving four votes.

Strong winds and isolated tornadoes are possible through midnight on Sunday morning

Published: Feb. 15, 2025 at 12:01 PM PST|

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - As storms continue to move across the Mid-South, there are warnings in effect for several counties.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER UPDATES:

Tornado Watch in effect for the following counties until 10 p.m.: Fayette County, TN, McNairy County, TN, Tippah County, MS, Lafayette County, MS, Crockett County, TN, Quitman County, MS, Hardeman County, TN, Coahoma County, MS, Tate County, MS, Benton County, MS, Panola County, MS, Haywood County, TN.

Tornado Warning until 8:15 p.m.: Phillips County, Ark., Coahoma County, Miss., Tunica County, Miss, Tate County, MS, Quitman County, MS.

After some heavy rain moved through the Mid-South on Saturday morning/afternoon, warmer temperatures and sunnier skies could ignite some strong to severe storms on Saturday evening/night.

There is a lot of warm and moist air over the Mid-South on Saturday afternoon, and an incoming cold front is going to result in a line of thunderstorms moving from the west to the east and through the region. That line is expected to have some strong winds, very heavy rain and even some isolated tornadoes within/near it. Prior to the cold front swinging through the area, some rogue stronger to severe storms have the potential to develop, and those given cells could have some tornadoes embedded. This will be the case through about 7 PM on Saturday. Those cells are the ones that could have even stronger tornadoes embedded than the actual cold front/line of thunderstorms. The area that has the highest risk/chance of seeing those rogue storms is in Northern Mississippi and Southwestern Tennessee. As a general statement, ultimately, south of I-40 hold the highest chance of these storms/stronger tornadoes.

The actual cold front/line of storms is going to move from the west to the east through the Mid-South during the evening hours on Saturday. It is expected to approach the western counties of the region (Phillips, Lee, St. Francis, Cross and Poinsett in Arkansas) by about 4 PM and clear the eastern counties of the Mid-South (Alcorn, Tippah, Benton Counties in Mississippi, McNairy, Hardeman, Haywood, Crockett and Gibson Counties in Tennessee) by about midnight.

Behind that main line, there could be a few showers that are able to get squeezed out between about 5 AM and 8 AM on Sunday morning. Since this cold front is so strong, some wintry mix is a possibility on Sunday morning, especially north of I-40. If you are headed to churches services on Sunday morning and need to traverse over a bridge, be aware of the dampness of it, as it is possible that some frozen precipitation could be on it.

Beyond that, temperatures are going to be much colder on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday afternoon compared to Saturday. Afternoon highs will be lucky to climb into the lower to middle 40s and overnight lows will slip into the lower 30s and upper 20s.

Another disturbance is going to move through the Mid-South late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. This could bring some wintry precipitation to the region, resulting in a nasty Wednesday morning commute to work/school/wherever. After this Saturday evening very early Sunday morning event is done, keep an eye on that.

Cold temperatures are going to be around the Mid-South to end the work week. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach the lower 30s while overnight lows will be in the lower double digits. It is going to be fridge on both Thursday and Friday morning.

Saturday night/Sunday morning: Cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms around, especially before midnight. Some strong and/or severe storms are possible. Another round of showers is possible after 5 AM. Falling temperatures into the middle 30s.

Sunday: A slight chance of a morning shower followed by decreasing clouds late. Highs in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Sunday night/Monday morning: Partly cloudy skies. Lows in the middle 20s.

Monday: Partly cloudy skies. Highs in the middle to lower 40s.

Beyond that: Well below average temperatures are going to be around the Mid-South throughout the work week, with Wednesday and Thursday being the coldest days while Thursday morning and Friday morning will have the coldest overnight low temperatures. A disturbance has the opportunity to bring some showers to the Mid-South late Tuesday into the overnight hours and on Wednesday, resulting in a potentially subpar commute to work/school/wherever on Wednesday morning. Some sunshine will develop by the end of the work week, but it is not going to help temperatures climb very much.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER UPDATES:

Tornado Watch in the Following Counties Until 10 p.m.: Fayette County, TN, McNairy County, TN, Tippah County, MS, Lee County, AR, Tunica County, MS, Lafayette County, MS, Crittenden County, AR, DeSoto County, MS, Crockett County, TN, Quitman County, MS, Hardeman County, TN, Tipton County, TN, Phillips County, AR, Coahoma County, MS, Cross County, AR, Tate County, MS, Benton County, MS, Panola County, MS, St. Francis County, AR, Lauderdale County, TN, Shelby County, TN, Haywood County, TN.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning Until 6:30 p.m.: Poinsett County, AR, Mississippi County, AR, Tipton County, TN, Crittenden County, AR, Lauderdale County, AR

Tornado Warning until 6:30 p.m.: Mississippi County, AR, Tipton County, TN, Crittenden County, AR, St. Francis County, AR, Shelby County, TN.

In-N-Out Burger devotees and converts will be able to line up for some of the West Coast's most famous smash burgers and fries (animal style, optional) next year — in Nashville.

Despite the excitement and some confusion surrounding statements made by company owner and president Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson during a presentation at the Feb. 4 Nashville Business Breakfast, representatives from the franchise are clarifying plans about entering the Memphis market, reported locally by Memphis Business Journal.

"We don’t have specific details on locations or a timeline for the Memphis area at the moment, but it is in our plans," In-N-Out Burger said in a statement provided to The Commercial Appeal. "While we continue to develop our plans for growth within the state, we aim to have five Nashville-area locations open by 2026."

NEW MEMPHIS RESTAURANTS:From Cajun to Vietnamese to BBQ, here are 7 new spots to try

The privately held company first announced plans to enter the Tennessee market in fall 2024 with a Franklin restaurant in greater Nashville. That store was originally expected to open fall 2025, but corporate representatives are saying that it could take a little longer for the state capital to see its first In-N-Out grand opening.

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

"Our Franklin location is currently under construction," In-N-Out said, explaining the construction typically takes between eight and nine months to complete. "Because of the amount of construction that still needs to take place, it’s still too early to identify a time frame for an opening date, but we very much look forward to serving our Customers there."

In-N-Out says it plans to house the corporate headquarters for its Tennessee operations in Nashville. Construction on that complex is scheduled for completion in 2026.
