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 Phoenix, AZ, 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 Phoenix, AZ.

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:

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.

Four people were dead after a crash on Interstate 10 west of Phoenix involving multiple vehicles and tractor-trailers, and eastbound lanes of the freeway were expected to be closed for hours, authorities said.

State troopers responded to calls of a collision on eastbound I-10 about 14 miles west of Tonopah, a community on the outskirts of the Phoenix area, shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Multiple vehicles caught fire after the crash, and initial reports from law enforcement indicated three people were dead, according to DPS. A photo supplied by the agency showed at least five vehicles scorched by the fire and two intact tractor-trailers positioned along the freeway shoulder.

After a temporary closure of I-10 in both directions, DPS said the eastbound lanes would remain closed for hours. The spokesperson didn't specify an estimated time of reopening.

The DPS spokesperson declined to share further information as the scene remained active and an investigation continued.

Just before 7 p.m., a DPS spokesperson said the death toll had risen to four people.

The Arizona Department of Transportation said drivers headed east on I-10 were being exited onto Salome Road, a surface street that led to the nearest eastbound entrance at 411th Avenue.

ADOT advised drivers to stay connected to real-time traffic information at az511.com.

Westbound traffic on I-10 remained open.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Senate has passed legislation to prohibit government employees from being able to work remotely.

In a 17-12 vote, Senate Bill 1237 passed Thursday out of the Senate and advances over to the House of Representatives.

The legislation would only allow sick employees to work from home if granted permission by a supervisor. All other full-time state employees would be expected to conduct their duties within a government office during regular working hours.

"If we aren't going to close these buildings, we need government workers to get off their sofas and head back into the office," state Sen. Shawnna Bolick, R-District 2, said in a statement.

Less than 10% of Arizona's state employees worked remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic and that rate later grew to 40% within a couple of years, according to the governor's office.

Back in 2022, then-Gov. Doug Ducey boasted about creating a "state-of-the-art hub" for state employees to work remotely and saving $9 million in costs by reducing the amount of office space the state needed.

The state's Department of Administration said in 2022 that about 88% of state workers "responded favorably" when asked if remote work had a positive impact on their work experience.

Veterans group rallies outside ICE detention center

FLORENCE, AZ (AZFamily) — There was a big show of support Thursday for an Arizona combat veteran now facing deportation.

Friends and fellow veterans protested outside his immigration hearing in Florence, east of Casa Grande.

One of the protestors was Ricardo Reyes, with the nonprofit Veterans’ advocacy group Veterans Defense.

“We don’t understand why veterans who served this country and put life on the line are being subjected to deportation,” said Reyes.

Marlon Parris is a former Iraqi veteran and father of seven who has lived with his wife and kids in the Phoenix area for years.

Last month, Parris was out running errands near his home in Laveen when he was stopped by federal agents and taken to an ICE facility, where he is now facing deportation.

Parris’ wife, Tanisha, said her husband, who is originally from the Caribbean, came to the country legally in 1997 when he was given a green card and then joined the Army.

“We have all the documentation,” said Hartwell-Parris. “All the paperwork, everything that proves my husband had every right to be in America.”

So why was Parris picked up by ICE?

Arizona’s Family has learned the U.S. Army vet served 5 years in prison after pleading guilty to a nonviolent drug charge in 2011 after he returned from Iraq.

ICE agents reportedly assured him he would not be deported because of the nonviolent nature of the offense. However, that changed when the Trump administration took over.

“It’s not just Marlon, it’s other people who are going through this,” said Hartwell-Parris. “We’re not only fighting for Marlon, we’re fighting for every veteran who is currently going through this type of deportation proceeding.”

Common Defense is now demanding Parris’ release and the release of other veterans facing deportation.

The group insists that the recent crackdown on undocumented immigrants should not involve veterans who may have later committed nonviolent crimes but put their lives on the line for this country.

“What he is going through is a grave injustice to have somebody who served this country,” said Reyes. “The things he is going through right now, it’s not something we would wish on anyone, but especially a veteran with a family.”

Arizona’s Family reached out to ICE to ask whether veterans were being targeted in the recent immigration sweeps but did not hear back by publication Thursday.
