The eye-catching red packaging gives a hint of what to expect – cutting open the kiwifruit reveals the red flesh stemming from Anthocyanin, a unique and naturally occurring pigment within the fruit. “Epidemiological studies have suggested that increased consumption of anthocyanins, coupled with an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits, can provide anti-inflammatory and anti-viral benefits. Coupled with its low glycemic index (GI) value, Zespri Red Kiwifruit is a delicious and suitable fruit for those that are monitoring their sugar levels,” said Ms. Bibi Chia, Principal Dietician at Raffles Medical Group.

The Zespri Red Kiwifruit is the latest variant to come through Zespri’s world-leading kiwifruit breeding programme, in partnership with Plant & Food Research. It has been through an extensive trial process to ensure the variety is of the highest quality.
A softer-handling fruit compared to Zespri’s other variants, Zespri Red Kiwifruit should be stored in the fridge and will soften quickly in the fruit bowl. It is best consumed when tender to the touch as a refreshing and nutritious snack or indulgent treat.
