Product description
Golden kiwifruit is the sweeter, mellower cousin of the familiar green kiwi. It has smooth, hairless bronze skin and vivid yellow flesh, with a flavour that leans tropical — notes of honey, mango and citrus, and far less of the sharp tang green kiwi is known for.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Beyond its honeyed sweetness, golden kiwi is exceptionally rich in Vitamin C — among the highest of any fruit, gram for gram — and provides fibre and potassium. It also naturally contains actinidin, a plant enzyme similar in family to papain and bromelain. The flesh is soft enough to simply halve and scoop.
SOURCED FROM NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is the world's benchmark for premium gold kiwifruit, grown in ideal conditions and graded to a high standard. [Confirm variety (e.g. SunGold) and any organic certification with supplier before using in live copy.] Air-freighted to the UAE for freshness.
