ZESPRI® GOLD Kiwifruit is the most recent addition to the ZESPRI® Kiwifruit family and differs from it’s GREEN cousin in that it has a smooth hairless skin that is bronze in colour, a golden flesh interior, and a white core with black seeds.
Taste-wise, ZESPRI® GOLD Kiwifruit has a sweet, uniquely tropical taste with a luscious, silky and very juicy texture that makes it a real favourite with both children and adults. Similar to ZESPRI® GREEN Kiwifruit, ZESPRI® GOLD Kiwifruit contains many of the same vitamins and minerals as ZESPRI® GREEN Kiwifruit, but with slightly higher levels of vitamin E and folate.
ZESPRI® GOLD Kiwifruit is a unique cultivar, and was naturally bred from one seedling planted in 1992. Now, over 4,000 hectares of GOLD vines are planted around the world exclusively for ZESPRI under assigned Plant Variety Rights (PVR - similar to a patent, but used for plant cultivars).
