GLYCEMIC INDEX3

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, and is an important mineral for many different body functions. Zespri™ Kiwifruit contains as much potassium as a banana4.

FOLATE5

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.
