DIGESTIVE
 HEALTH

Fibre is an important component of our daily diet and helps support healthy blood cholesterol levels and digestion. Zespri™ Kiwifruit contain soluble and insoluble fibre to support digestive health and the natural enzyme actinidin which helps to break down protein.

 


100% of your daily Vitamin C  needs¹

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for health but our bodies cannot make it, so we must get it from our diet. Zespri™ Kiwifruit is rich in Vitamin C and one per day can provide you with your daily requirement.

 

LOW
GLYCEMIC INDEX2

In low GI foods, carbohydrates are slowly digested so there is a more gradual rise in blood glucose levels – and it makes you feel fuller for longer. Both Zespri™ Green and SunGold™ Kiwifruit are low GI.
 

 ANTIOXIDANTS

Zespri™ Kiwifruit contains a wide array of antioxidant compounds, including polyphenols, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, and these are at the front line of protecting our bodies' cells from damage.
 

POTASSIUM

Potassium maintains fluid and electrolyte balance, which is why bananas are often associated with exercise. A serving of Zespri™ SunGold™  contains as much potassium as a medium banana3.
 

FOLATE4

Folate is an essential nutrient for cellular growth and development. Folate performs important functions in the healthy body, and sufficiently high levels are needed before and during pregnancy.

Glycaemic index is a measure of the rate and extent that blood glucose levels rise after eating a set amount of carbohydrate (glucose). High GI foods are rapidly digested and absorbed and result in rapid, marked fluctuations in blood glucose. Foods are classified as eighter High (GI>70), Moderate (GI 56-69) or Low (GI<55). Kiwifruit are classified as low GI.
