Meat Shops in Beaverton, OR

“I've been shopping here for spices for just about 1 year. To date I have yet to have a bad or negative experience with the staff and or the spices they're selling. I grew up with my mom making dishes from all over the world and in my own culinary experience Mingala has not only what I want and need, the freshness and very reasonable prices of there spices is amazing.”

“Top tier guacamole; It’s incredibly addictive. At $6.99 a pound I’d say it’s worth it for the convenience and taste. It’s tasty enough to dip right into, repeatedly.

I also bought tamales; one of each kind. They are big and they’re $3 but they’re mostly masa. The sauce inside of the chicken tamales is really good.

The store is well stocked with lots of fresh ingredients that are used in many traditional m, age-old recipes. The produce section is worth a look.”

“So I went to Aloha halal market to get some Ingredients to surprise my friend that was coming over to visit. They do have a dietary restriction which only allows them to eat Halal Food due to religious purposes. So I couldn't just go to Winco or any regular grocery store to get these specific halal ingredients. So I came here to find all the ingredients I needed which I did and I learned so much on the internet about what it means to be Halal.Halal is an Arabic word that simply means lawful or permitted, but generally refers to what’s allowed under Islamic law. It’s the opposite of haram, which means prohibited. Some things are very clear-cut halal or haram, however, as with a lot of religious law, other things can be open to interpretation.So I need to buy some meat that's why I couldn't go to any regular grocery store because for meat to be certified halal, it must be slaughtered in a manner known as dhabiha. That means to drain all blood from the carcass. In Islam, the consumption of blood is considered haram/not-allowed. A Muslim must recite a dedication known as tasmiya or shahada during this process.Not all meat can be made halal, regardless of how it was slaughtered. Animals that are always haram/not-allowed to eat include:Pork and its by-products are strictly forbidden,Donkeys, mules, and horses, Fanged animals (cats, dogs, bears, etc),Birds of prey,Reptiles and Some other animals such as monkeys.Overall I would recommend coming here if you are like me cooking for someone who has a restriction on food of the religious purpose, or you yourself are in the religion and just want to come and find some Halal Ingredients.”
