Zespri Kiwifruit: Zespri Green & Zespri SunGold

Eh Friday! I just reached home from my regular coffee session with friends at Uncle Don. I decide eat another kiwifruit, well I eat fruits anytime… As you know I am on this Zespri 14-Day Daily Scoop Amazing of Challenge, every day you can see me eating Zespri Green & Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit. So let me brief you what are the differences between the Zespri Green and Zespri SunGold...

When mentioned kiwifruits straight away I think of Green kiwifruit. Zespri Green is the signature or I would say it’s the first kiwifruit developed in New Zealand back in 1920’s. Green kiwifruit has a tangy, sweet and sour flavours.

However, don’t underestimate the power of the kiwifruit it has lots of nutrients, trace minerals and vitamins. It is naturally low in sodium, fat and has a low GI (glycaemic index). This ‘powerhouse’ fruit is one of the most nutrient-dense fruits available.

Zespri Green Kiwifruit contains:

• twice the amount of vitamin C as an orange

• more potassium than a banana

• more fibre than a bowl of bran

Another one is the Zespri SunGold this is newly added into Zespri kiwifruit family and was first planted in 1992. Well, the Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit has smooth, hairless skin which is bronze in colour. The flesh is yellow or light gold has a sweet and tropical taste and burst with more than 20 types of vitamins and mineral.

Well, the different between the Zespri Green and Zespri SunGold is that the SunGold is smaller size and has less hairy compared to the Green. Plus when both are ripe the SunGold actually taste sweeter. In terms of nutritious and goodness, both has the same vitamins and minerals but the Zespri SunGold slightly higher levels of vitamin E and folate. I actually like both the Green and SunGold, usually I prefer the ripe ones because its sweeter and softer.
