A limber is a frozen ice pop originating in Puerto Rico. It is made in different flavors.
Limber is derived from the Spanish pronunciation of pilot Charles Lindbergh's last name.[1] According to local lore, Lindbergh arrived in Puerto Rico in 1928 and was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers.[1]
Limbers are frozen in cups without a stick.[1] They often include a frozen sweet, like cream, and fruit juice.[2] Syrups can also be used. Traditional flavors include parcha (passionfruit), tamarind, pineapple, and coconut.[2] Limbers are eaten by squeezing the bottom of the cup to push the pop out.[1] They can also be prepared in bags.[2]
Outside of Puerto Rico, limbers are served during the summer in areas with a significant Puerto Rican diaspora population, including New York,[1] Florida and Massachusetts.[2]
