Early childhood is the best time for parents to help their children cultivate a healthy relationship with fresh foods. This helps to ensure that kids grow up with a good habit of eating healthy foods, instead of snacking on processed foods. Zespri^TM Organic Kiwifruit is grown in nature and is one of the most nutritionally dense fruits with a combination of 20 vitamins & minerals.

It contains 100% of your daily Vitamin C needs¹ which supports immunity, reduces tiredness and can help iron absorption when eaten with iron-rich foods².

Zespri Organic Kiwifruit also contains dietary fiber to support digestive wellness and it contains a natural enzyme called actinidin which is unique to kiwifruit and helps with protein digestion.

Kiwifruit also contains a good source of potassium with 2 Zespri^TM Sungold^TM Kiwifruit (162g) containing as much potassium as a banana.

Here are some ideas on how to introduce your child to Zespri Organic Kiwifruit:

1. Peel and cut Zespri Organic Kiwifruit into slices making a nutritious lunchbox addition.

2. For picky eaters, you can make your own baked kiwi chips by peeling, then thinly slicing and placing on a baking tray. Bake in oven at 180˚C/350˚F until they are dry and crunchy.

3. Zespri Organic Sungold, a sweeter variety, is delicious when added to smoothies, cooked oats, quinoa and rice.

¹ One piece of Zespri SunGold Organic or one piece of Zespri Green Organic provides 100% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C (Zespri SunGold average weight: 109.9g – Zespri Green average weight: 87.3g).
