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 Tucson, 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 Tucson, 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.

Where Tucson legend Sam Fox’s passion blossomed: Hungry Fox Restaurant turns 60

Hidden between a commercial printer store and a bank on East Broadway, Hungry Fox Restaurant still shines as a Tucson treasure six decades after it opened.

As Hungry Fox — where Tucson legend Sam Fox cut his teeth before launching his successful restaurant empire — celebrates its milestone anniversary, its owners are planning to open a second location by year’s end.

“We are currently looking for a new location,” said Billy Rahn, who has owned the restaurant with his wife, Cassie, since 2023. “We will try to recreate this atmosphere, this family-oriented type restaurant. That is our goal by the end of the year.”

A second location might make it easier to find a seat at the original spot at 4637 E. Broadway Blvd.

With only word-of-mouth as advertising, the diner, which serves breakfast and lunch, has a constant flow of regulars enjoying coffee, homemade cinnamon rolls and Sonoran eggs Benedict. Some regulars come twice a day.

Aaron and Toni Fox, Tucson native Sam Fox’s parents, opened The Hungry Fox in 1964.

“Very fine memories, I love to see that it is still open,” said Fox, who spent part of his childhood helping at the restaurant alongside his parents. “It definitely felt like home. We had our birthdays there, our dinners and brunches …. It was like one giant family.”

It was inside that building, its walls decorated with hand-painted porcelain plates that have stood the test of time, that Fox grew to love the restaurant industry and the hard work it entailed.

“My work ethic was rooted in seeing how my parents lived their lives and how hard they worked,” said Fox, whose Fox Restaurant Concepts includes the classic American-styled Culinary Dropout, the pizza and rotisserie chicken concept Doughbird and the healthy-leaning Flower Child. “Just by being around my parents and hard work all the time, it was something which just became who I am.”

The Rahns have tried to maintain the warm atmosphere that Sam Fox remembers.

“It’s kind of like an extended family that we are trying to build here,” Billy Rahn said. “All of my team loves to sit and talk with the guests, and we want them to feel at home and have those conversations.”

Rahn said the couple, out of respect for the restaurant’s history, didn’t make any changes in the dining area.

“To the customers eyesight, the only change we made is that we reprinted the menus, but we didn’t take anything off of it. Everything is still on,” he said.

The menu includes Sam Fox’s childhood favorite: egg yolk omelet, and the Fox or the Cowboy omelets, as well as the fan favorite Sonoran eggs Benedict, which comes with chorizo and a chipotle Hollandaise-topped English muffin.

The Hungry Fox also serves pancakes, stuffed breakfast burritos, biscuits with thick gravy and other treats, starting at 6 a.m. on weekdays, 6:30 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant closes at 2 p.m. daily.

Dennis Lumley has been a Hungry Fox regular for the past five years.

“We have been here two or three times a week,” said Lumley, who comes with his wife, Barbara. “Sometimes I wish they had dinners, as well, but I’m glad they don’t, because then I would be huge.”

On a recent Monday morning, despite the rush, a waitress shared a warm hug with the Lumleys before taking their order at their table framed by hand-sewed curtains.

‘‘The nice thing is, we are regulars, but you can’t tell the way they treat somebody as if they are a regular or not. It is like a family,” Lumley reflected.

Rahn said he and his wife hope to bring that same sense to a second location, which also will help them keep up with the demand for the restaurant.

“Every weekend, we have a 40-minute wait. It is because we are the size that we are and we cannot make it any bigger. The need is there, the want is there, that’s why we want to do it,” he said.

Arizona Basketball in talks with Dayton transfer Koby Brea and Clemson transfer RJ Godfrey

Godfrey was far less under the radar during his recruiting process than Brea was. The former four-star recruit held a litany of both power conference and mid-major offers coming out of high school, and he still has room to grow after showing improvement last season.

During his recruitment, he was graded as a four-star prospect coming out of Suwanee, Georgia. He held offers from smaller programs like George Mason, Kennesaw State, and Tulsa, but he also was recruited by teams like Utah, Ole Miss, and — of course — Clemson. He played in 33 games as a freshman, averaging 9.4 minutes, 3.2 points, and 2.1 rebounds per game.

Godfrey saw more time on the floor last season, but a deep Clemson team didn't leave room for him to start much. He played in all 36 games without a single start and logged 15.6 minutes per game. He posted 6.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 60% from the field. With his 6-foot-8 frame, he would add more depth to a forward group that's looking thin with the departures of Keshad Johnson, Pelle Love, Paulius Murauskas, and Filip Borovicanin.

What this means for Arizona

Both players have been contacted by prestigious programs since entering the transfer portal. Brea has heard from Kansas, Duke, UConn, Indiana, and Illinois among others, while Godfrey has been in talks with LSU, Auburn, Butler, and TCU among others. It would be big for Arizona to land either or both of them.

Neither one projects as a full-time starter, but they would both be key depth pieces who see significant minutes, with Brea likely playing the Sixth Man and Godfrey playing out of the seventh or eighth spot. Here's to hoping Lloyd finds some magic in his hat and manages to bring both veterans in with a solid sales pitch about ring-chasing.

Amphitheater High School will host an “ESPY” style award show recognizing some of the best athletes from their school this year. The “Amphi All-Sports Awards” will be held Friday, May 3 at 5 p.m. in the AHS Performing Arts Center. There will be special guests handing out awards.

All Amphi athletes and families are invited.

Kaiah Altmeyer continued where she left off in game one of the series, and four RBIs from Carlie Scupin helped No. 19 Arizona run-rule Arizona State 13-3 in five innings to win its third-straight conference series and claim the Territorial Cup Saturday at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Arizona (30-13-1, 11-9 Pac-12) won two out of three at Utah earlier in April before taking two games at home against Oregon last weekend. The Wildcats have a chance to sweep the Sun Devils for the first time since 2019 with a win on Sunday.

Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe said the plan was to be aggressive at the plate after the lineup had just five hits in game one of the series on Friday. She thinks Dakota Kennedy’s leadoff solo home run in the bottom of the first inning set the tone for the game.

“They were just hunting, they were hunting,” Lowe said. “It looked like the pitchers had to throw to their plate, and they knew that they were going to get a hit; it was just a matter of when and where the ball went.”

The Wildcats scored a combined ten runs in the third and fourth innings.

“I think that’s just passing the bat, honestly, and trusting our plan like we’ve been saying all week,” Kennedy said of the explosive two innings. “Like we’re prepared for this, we’re ready to go. We passed the bat, and everyone did their jobs, so that’s what happens.”

Miranda Stoddard (5-8) allowed two earned runs off four hits in four innings. Ali Blanchard finished the game in the circle for Arizona in the top of the fifth.

“I just felt so great about that start,” Lowe said. “Her (Stoddard) getting that first inning under her belt and getting comfortable, it just really carried us today, and that felt fantastic. Then getting A.B. (Blanchard) in at the end of the game was huge. I thought she did her thing, both her and Miranda. It just felt like a good win today for them.”

Stoddard said she was extra motivated to pitch well on Saturday because it was Alumni Night.

“I think it’s especially awesome to do so today when we’re commemorating all of those that have come before us and just recognizing the decades of excellence that have played at Arizona,” she said.

Arizona held a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the third inning before it scored six runs to blow the game wide open.

Allie Skaggs walked to open the bottom half for Arizona. With one out, Emily Schepp doubled up the middle, moving Skaggs to third. Tayler Biehl singled to third, scoring Skaggs to put Arizona up 4-1. Altmeyer then picked up an RBI double to left field, extending the lead to 5-1 for the Wildcats.

After Kennedy walked and Regan Shockey reached base on a fielder’s choice, a two-out, two-RBI single through the left side from Carlie Scupin stretched the lead to 7-1, promoting Mac Osborne to replace Meika Lauppe in the circle for Arizona State (18-24, 2-15 Pac-12). After Osborne walked Olivia DiNardo, Skaggs doubled to left, scoring pinch-runner Zaedi Tagalog and DiNardo to put Arizona up 9-1.

An RBI single from Arizona State’s Samantha Swan and a fielding error by Shockey narrowed the gap to 9-3 for the Sun Devils in the top of the fourth.

Arizona added four runs in the bottom half off a bases-loaded walk from Kennedy that scored Schepp, a two-RBI single to right field from Scupin and a run scored by Shockey on a wild pitch.

Arizona opened the game with a leadoff solo home run from Kennedy in the bottom of the first, going up 1-0.

Jordyn VanHook walked to open the top of the second for Arizona State. With one out, Tanya Windle singled to right field, and a two-out RBI sacrifice fly from Kayla Lissy tied the game at 1-1.

In the bottom half, a two-out, two-run home run to right field from Altmeyer put Arizona back on top at 3-1. The home run scored Blaise Biringer, who reached base on an error from Libby Walsh at second base.

Altmeyer had a walk-off solo home run on Friday and has five RBIs in the series so far.

The home run ended Arizona State starting pitcher Marissa Schuld’s afternoon after just 1 2/3 innings in the circle.

Arizona plays Arizona State in the final game of the series tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Hillenbrand Stadium.
