HOW IS A PALETA DIFFERENT FROM A POPSICLE?

San Francisco is known as the home of Popsicles! This ice-cream variation, known all around the world, was invented by Frank Epperson when he left a cup filled with powdered soda, water and a stirring stick on his porch. His children called the creation Pop’s ‘sicle.

However, you can be sure Popsicles are not the same as Paletas. Here you’ll discover 3 key differences:

1.    Real flavor. 

Popsicles are known as a brand, which is commonly manufactured and sold in grocery stores. However, Paletas are 100% natural, made out of fresh fruits and manufactured just few days before its purchase. It can also have creamy flavors, made of milk,  heavy cream or vegan cream, but those are still combined with 100% real fruit. Pepito’s Paletas are “made today to enjoy today.” 

2.    Ancient recipes. 

Paletas are known for its delectable flavor combinations, with recipes that passed down generation to generation.  Here at Pepito’s we offer more than 30 fruits, with a custom stick design or flavor, from Creamy strawberries to Jamaica!

3.    Healthiest choice. 

Being 100% real fruit Paletas are the healthiest dessert choice. At Pepito’s Paletas, we offer two types of paletas: Cream and Vegan. If you choose the Vegan option, we guarantee you’ll receive a 100% Vegan product that would’n add extra calories to your diet and health. And thanks to our Pepito’s World Tour, you’ll be able to try healthy Paleta recipes from all over the world.
