Nutritious and Delicious

 

Feel revitalised with Zespri Kiwifruit. Our Zespri SunGold and RubyRed Kiwifruit are naturally high in vitamin C, and provide 100% of your daily needs in just one fruit. Zespri Kiwifruit fans have been enjoying this vitality for years.

Zespri Green Kiwifruit is a good source of dietary fibre, which is lacking in most daily diets. Fibre helps with keeping you regular and is important for supporting the digestive system. This was recognised when Green kiwifruit became the first fresh fruit ever to receive an authorised health claim from the European Commission, marking a breakthrough for the fresh produce industry. The Commission officially approved the health claim that "consumption of green kiwifruit contributes to normal bowel function by increasing stool frequency" – based on a daily intake of two fresh green kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. Hayward) providing a minimum of 200g of flesh. 
 

In addition, Actinidin, the protease enzyme unique to kiwifruit, helps us to digest dietary protein, including those found in meat, milk, legumes and cereal. 


Zespri Kiwifruit consistently ranks as one of the most nutrient-rich fruits available, contributing to everyday good health. The fibre content, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals of kiwifruit drive its superior nutritional value and make it one of the healthiest fruits available.

The combination of vitamin C, dietary fibre, actinidin, potassium and folate, gives Zespri Kiwifruit one of the highest nutrient density and adequacy scores compared to other common fruit. The nutrition table (below) of all our varieties tells it all.
