"After being a stay-at-home wife and mother for seven years, I dreamed of 'bringing the jungle to the desert.' I've always loved fruits and vegetables since I was a child—the smell of cut cucumber and the sweet scent of watermelon on a hot day is awesome to me," said Lourdes Angelica Perez, co-owner of Jungle Fruit Raspados. "The idea for Jungle Fruit Raspados was born after I connected with my friend Yasmin Renova and felt supported by the community."
"Our raspados shop is the very first of its kind in the area. Our goal is to 'Bring the Jungle to the Desert' and create a fun and tasty environment where everyone in the Sahuarita community can enjoy delicious treats without having to travel far," said Yasmin Renova, co-owner of Jungle Fruit Raspados. "We hope to build great relationships with the members of the Sahuarita community and gain their trust and respect. Angelica and I are super excited and anxious to embark on this adventure with our new woman-owned business and cannot wait to see how the members react to our fun and tasty flavors!"
