Zespri Green vs Sungold Kiwifruit?

Zespri Green Kiwifruit is the usual favourites among many. I usually shy away from kiwifruits because of bad experiences with super sour ones. But Zespri Green Kiwifruit is nothing like it. Encased in the brown fuzzy skin is the sweet and tangy flesh packed full of nutrients.

As for the Zespri Sungold Kiwifruit, the flesh is a yellowish gold colour with a significantly sweeter taste compared to all the kiwifruits I ever had. The texture is softer, more delicate while the fruit itself has one of the highest ranking in health benefits amongst all other fruits.

Instead of eating three oranges, you can get the equivalent vitamin C from just one kiwifruit!

There are actually many ways to eat your kiwifruits.

The Zespri website boasts a list of kiwifruit recipes which you can follow, where you can have Zespri Kiwifruits in sangria, salad dressing, toast, curry, pasta, pudding, pancake and even mooncake!
