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 Seattle, WA, 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 Seattle, WA

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 Seattle, WA.

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.

The number of children in Washington is declining, while the number of older adults is growing. New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows this trend has led to an interesting demographic shift since the start of the decade.

For the first time, adults age 65 and older outnumber children under 18 in most of the state’s counties.

This wasn’t the case at the start of the decade, although it was close. In 2020, children outnumbered older adults in 20 counties, while in 19 the opposite was true.

But the new census data, which is for 2024, shows 24 counties with more older adults than children. The five that flipped were Kitsap, Kittitas, Lewis, Walla Walla and Whatcom.

Age ratios in Washington counties

At one extreme, Jefferson County has only 25 children per 100 people 65 and older. Meanwhile, Franklin County has 275 kids per 100 people 65 and older.

Overall, there are still more children than adults 65 and older in Washington, but the two groups are trending in opposite directions. From 2020 to 2024, the under-18 population shrank by about 42,400 to 1.66 million, while the 65-and-older population grew by 159,600 to 1.38 million.

This is not unique to Washington. A Census Bureau report released last month shows it’s a national trend. Last year, 11 states had more older adults than children, up from three in 2020.

“Children still outnumber older adults in the United States, despite a decline in births this decade,” wrote Lauren Bowers, chief of the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Branch, in a news release. But the gap is narrowing, as aging baby boomers swell the ranks of the 65-and-older age group. The number of U.S. counties where older adults outnumber children has been growing, she wrote, particularly in more sparsely populated areas.

Indeed, the Washington counties where older adults outnumber children tend to be more rural and less populated. In all of the Seattle metro area counties — King, Pierce and Snohomish — children still outnumbered adults last year. This was also the case in Spokane and Clark counties, where Vancouver is located.

There are signs this may be changing. Two of the counties in which the number of older adults surpassed the number of children this decade — Kitsap and Whatcom — are among the 10 most populous in the state.

The county with the biggest imbalance in favor of older adults was Jefferson, where Port Townsend is located. In 2024, there were about 25 kids per 100 older adults, down from 31 in 2020.

Jefferson County is a popular retirement destination and is, in fact, among the oldest counties in the nation, with a median age of 60.9 years in 2024. Picturesque San Juan County is not that far behind, with a median age of 57 years. In San Juan, there were 32 kids per 100 older adults last year.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Franklin and Adams counties in Eastern Washington had the highest ratio of kids to older adults, despite both being largely rural counties. In Franklin, there were around 276 kids per 100 older adults, and in Adams, around 274.

In King County, there were about 441,400 people under 18 in 2024, and around 340,900 people 65 and older. Since 2000, the number of kids has declined by about 15,400, while the number of older adults has increased by 38,900.

Wildfire danger across Central and Eastern Washington will remain high through Wednesday evening as fires burn across the state.

Much of the east side of the state is under a red flag warning from the National Weather Service as conditions become conducive to extreme fire. The warning will expire at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

A dry cold front moving toward the coast will usher in northwest winds in Eastern Washington beginning Tuesday afternoon. Any fires that spark will have some strong winds — up to 20 mph Tuesday and 30 mph in some areas Wednesday — that could rapidly spread flames.

Fire weather picks up in Eastern Washington

Beginning Wednesday in Western Washington, the system will bring some cool, cloudy drizzle to the region, helping to quell fire danger.

Fire danger will remain high east of the Cascade crest on Wednesday, with the most critical conditions along the Idaho border and in the southeast corner of the state, said Matt Dehr, lead wildfire meteorologist with the state Department of Natural Resources. There’s also a slight chance of thunderstorms coming up out of Oregon in the Blue Mountains on Tuesday evening.

Things will likely calm down Thursday and Friday, before heating up again this weekend. Critical fire weather could pick up again sometime next week.

Fuels are dry and ready to burn.

“The rest of July really does look quite hot. I don’t really see a lot of relief in the future, and it is really the typical start of our very hot and very dry season,” Dehr said. “So the fact that we’re already just ready to burn, everything’s ready to go — we’re going to be off to the races sooner than later.”

There are fires burning across the state, including one on the Olympic Peninsula.

The Hope fire 10 miles southwest of Northport was reported around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday and estimated at about 2,161 acres by 5 p.m., said Ryan Rodruck, a DNR spokesperson.

Stevens County Emergency Management ordered Level 3, or go now, evacuations near the Three Pines Youth Camp, and Level 2 evacuations for the surrounding area. A Red Cross shelter was open at the Kettle Falls Middle school.

The human-caused Bear Gulch fire was estimated at 328 acres as of Tuesday. The fire was reported in Olympic National Forest near the Mount Rose Trailhead along Lake Cushman.

It was burning through a burn scar on steep, rocky terrain. This is the third fire in that area in roughly 30 years, with the most recent in 2006.

Wildfire near Lake Cushman closes trails in Olympics

The fire blocked access to Forest Service Road 24 along the lake and closed the Mount Rose, Dry Creek and Copper Creek trailheads, as well as the Bear Gulch day use area. The Staircase area and campground in Olympic National Park were also closed.

The Pomas fire, burning in the upper Entiat River valley, was 2,890 acres as of Tuesday. It was 0% contained as of Tuesday morning, said Thomas Kyle-Milward, a DNR spokesperson.

A critical incident management team, reserved for the largest fires, has been assigned to the fire, Kyle-Milward said.

The fire is burning within the footprint of the 2015 Wolverine fire, an area including snags, heavy downed woody material, grasses, young conifers and shrubs. It was started by lightning.

Resources are being drawn down on the Siegel fire as fire behavior improves. The fire in Spokane County near Rosalia is about 700 acres, Kyle-Milward said, and 93% contained.

Apple Acres, near Lake Chelan, is more than 3,000 acres and 70% contained as fire behavior moderates, Kyle-Milward said.

Most Read Local Stories

Both fires were reportedly human-caused, and are under investigation, according to DNR.

The state is at a preparedness level of three. The preparedness level is calculated from burning conditions, fire activity, predicted weather and resource availability; the higher the level (out of five), the more in-state resources and other services come online and fewer resources are made available for out-of-state responses.

Under red flag warnings, the Spokane Valley Fire Department advises people should avoid parking on or driving over dry grass or vegetation, avoid yard work near dry vegetation, and ensure chains or other parts of their vehicle are not dragging and creating sparks.

WA wins lawsuit forcing scammer to pay millions back to small businesses

SEATTLE - The Washington State Office of the Attorney General has won over $8 million in penalties in a trial against a repeat scammer.The Michigan-based Labor Law Poster Service – co-owned by brothers Joseph, Thomas and Steven Fata, and Joseph's son Justin Fata – illegally targeted tens of thousands of small businesses in Washington for over a decade, by mass-mailing deceptive poster...

SEATTLE - The Washington State Office of the Attorney General has won over $8 million in penalties in a trial against a repeat scammer.

The Michigan-based Labor Law Poster Service – co-owned by brothers Joseph, Thomas and Steven Fata, and Joseph's son Justin Fata – illegally targeted tens of thousands of small businesses in Washington for over a decade, by mass-mailing deceptive posters, according to the AG's Office.

The company has been ordered to pay more than $8.2 million in penalties and consumer restitution, after current Washington Governor and former AG, Bob Ferguson, sued the company in January 2024.

The backstory:

In 2008, the AG's Office investigated the Labor Law Poster Service, formerly known as the Mandatory Poster Agency, for consumer protection violations involving healthcare professionals. Afterward, the Mandatory Poster Agency entered a legal agreement to pay back the money to the Washington businesses, in exchange for avoiding penalties.

Despite paying back the money, the Mandatory Poster Agency continued to violate consumer protection, and would be sued by the AG's Office in 2014.

In 2016, a King County Superior Court judge ruled that the poster agency violated the Consumer Protection Act again, 79,354 times, and ordered the poster agency to pay over $1.2 million in penalties and restitution. The Fata brothers would continue their illegal activity after paying.

In January 2024, a new consumer protection lawsuit was filed in King County Superior Court that accused the Labor Law Poster Service of violating the Consumer Protection Act over 300,000 times during the previous seven years.

What's next:

King County Superior Court Judge Maureen McKee has ordered the Labor Law Poster Service to pay $12 for each of the nearly 600,000 mailers sent to Washington small business owners-$7.1 million in total.

Additionally, the poster company has been ordered to pay $850,000 total in restitution to the small businesses who fell for the poster scam, plus 12% in prejudgment interest.

The Fatas will pay over $8.2 million in total.

MOUNT RAINIER, Wash. - Mount Rainier on Tuesday experienced its largest seismic activity since 2009, with a swarm of small earthquakes detected. According to the United States Geological Survey, hundreds of earthquakes were recorded.

What we know:

The tremors began around 1:30 a.m. PST and ranged in magnitude from 0.1 to 1.7. None have been felt at the surface and more are expected throughout the day.

The earthquakes are all at a depth of 1 to 4 miles below the surface within the area of Mount Rainier itself.

"At present, there is no indication that the level of earthquake activity is cause for concern, and the alert level and color code for Mount Rainier remain at green/normal," said Harold Tobin, Director of Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

Earthquakes happen nearly every day in Washington, according to the Department of Natural Resources, and Mount Rainier is one of the most seismically active volcanoes in the Washington and Oregon Cascades.

The U.S. Geological Survey notes that earthquakes frequently happen on Mount Rainier. The PNSN records 3 to 4 earthquakes within 3 miles of the summit in an average month.

The largest recorded earthquake beneath Mount Rainier was a magnitude 3.9 in 1973. Earthquakes with a magnitude of over 3.0 also occurred in 1976, 1990, 2002 and 2004.

What's an earthquake swarm?

Earthquake swarms, defined as three or more small earthquakes in a single day, are rare but do occur. The most notable swarm happened between Sept. 20-22, 2009, when more than 1,000 earthquakes were detected.

Tobin said they typically are associated with movement of fluids (most likely, hydrothermal water) interacting with small faults within the volcano.

"We have no reason to suspect magma activity at this time," Tobin said.

USGS and PNSN are continuing to monitor the seismic activity.
