Greek International Food Market

West Roxbury, MA — As the season of Lent begins for millions observing Orthodox Christian traditions, Greek International Food Market in West Roxbury is welcoming the community to explore the rich flavors and centuries-old traditions of Greek Lenten cuisine.

Owner Katerina Iliades, whose family has served the Boston Greek community for decades, says many of the foods enjoyed during Lent reflect long-standing Greek culinary traditions.

“Lent is a forty-day season leading up to Easter when many families embrace traditional fasting foods rooted in the Mediterranean diet,” says Iliades. “The dishes enjoyed during this time — from beans and vegetables to seafood and olive oil — have been part of Greek culinary traditions for centuries.”

During the Lenten season, many Christians avoid meat and dairy, turning instead to a vibrant variety of Mediterranean dishes that are naturally plant-based and deeply rooted in Greek culinary tradition.

At Greek International Food Market, customers can enjoy a wide selection of traditional homemade Lenten meals including:

Okra in tomato sauce

Greek string beans (fasolakia)

Stuffed grape leaves (dolmades)

Giant beans baked in tomato sauce (gigantes)

Bean salads and Mediterranean vegetable dishes

The market also carries a large variety of Lenten pantry staples and imported Greek products, including vegan Greek pies, Mediterranean vegetables, canned and dried beans, and an extensive olive bar featuring a wide selection of Greek olives.

Seasonal Lenten specialties available at the market also include fresh-baked lagana bread, traditionally enjoyed on Clean Monday, along with beloved Greek sweets such as halva, loukoumia (Greek delights), and moustokouloura.
periods.

For more than 16 years, Greek International Food Market has served as a destination for authentic Greek foods, imported products and homemade Mediterranean specialties in the Boston area.

“We love sharing these traditions with our community,” says Iliades.
