DeJaFrut meaning “from Jamaican fruit” is a family-owned business founded in January 2013 by twin sisters Marie and Maria Wilson. As native New Yorkers and the offspring of Jamaican parents, we realized there was no all-natural fruit-based frozen dessert available on the island. With the abundance of fruits available and the perpetual tropical climate, we were determined to introduce a frozen sorbet that provided a nutritious and delicious alternative to ice cream.
We manufacture and sell a tropical spin on Italian ice with an original blend of ingredients not previously available on the market. We have positioned our single-serving sorbet as a healthier, lower calorie, grab-and-go snack item in retail markets where consumers are faced with limited options beyond ice cream.
