Zespri Gold Kiwi Fruit

Go ahead and take a bite! Smooth skinned, golden and full of vitamins, this kiwi fruit from New Zealand is delicious any way you slice it. Halve it and scoop with a spoon for a quick snack or peel and slice over desserts and salads.

Tips for selecting:

Select gold kiwi that has a smooth, bronze skin and yields to gentle pressure.

Tips for storing:

Zespri kiwi fruit is ripe and ready to eat. However, if you buy a bunch, they can be refrigerated for several days without losing their sweet and juicy flavor.

Nutritional Benefits:

Kiwi fruit really packs a nutritional punch. With less than 100 calories, two gold kiwi have more vitamin C than an orange, more potassium than a banana and more fiber than a serving of bran cereal.
