I scream, you scream, we all scream for … Frutero! Co-founded by Mike Weber WG20 and Vedant Saboo WG20, Frutero combines exotic produce from Colombia and Thailand with local Philadelphia dairy to offer consumers a delicious new dessert — tropical-fruit ice cream with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
The pair were inspired by Weber’s first visit to India in 2018, when he tried local iterations of the icy treat.
