55-year-old Spanish family business Sandro Desii is widely known for its refreshing sorbets. From a factory of 30 in Barcelona, the company produces sorbets of organic flavors like carrots, celery and basil. The North American ideal of sorbet is fruity and sweet, but these Spanish sorbets are known to help with digestion and can even be used as salad dressing.
One of Sandro Desii's classic sorbet flavor is the citrus and vegetables. It blends lemon and orange with carrot and celery. Aside from its unique taste, a scoop of this is great for your health as it is naturally rich in vitamins. Lime and celery, lemon, basil and fresh mint are other popular veggie-infused flavors. These may be peculiar dessert flavors, especially after a hearty meal of veggies, but would be great snacks for those craving vegetables in between meals.
