The Ladies of Paletería Bering



As promised, permítame presentarles a las mujeres de la Paletería Bering.

(I think 'Bering' is a family name - not the 'Bering Straits'... although that's a cooling thought too.)
FRESH fruits, berries, nuts are prepared: Squeezed, chopped, pureed... and often combined...
poured into molds... and then frozen.









They also sell fruit concoctions in liquid form, not frozen. I haven't been through all the flavors  of either yet.
The picture I forgot to take was all the squeezed citrus halves, peelings, and other fruit leavings in heaps outside. A composting business is just waiting to be born! However, stay tuned for my upcoming coverage of huge vermiculture projects in the surrounding area.
