New Research: Mothers Seek Simple Nutrition over Trendy Ingredients
When purchasing healthy foods for their children, mothers are less attracted by trendy or sophisticated ingredients as they are by basic, simple benefits like ‘fresh’ and ‘balanced nutrition’, according to a nationwide survey. Some 66 percent of mothers want to provide something for lunch that their child will eat without supervision, while 65 percent want their kids to love the taste of products. Read more.
Suggest lunchbox-friendly GREEN and GOLD Kiwifruit to your clients. A two-piece serving of kiwifruit is equivalent to one cup of fruit – with 10x the vitamin C of bananas, 3x that of a mango and 2x that of an orange per serving. |
Your clients will also like knowing ZESPRI® packaging is 100% recyclable or reusable. Learn more about ZESPRI’s sustainable commitment here.

Featured Recipe: Kiwifruit Shrimp Banh Mi
Americans love big, bold flavors and discovering something new, such as foods once considered exotic. Spice up your clients’ home menus with a Vietnamese-inspired Kiwifruit Shrimp Banh Mi. This salad-in-a-sandwich delivers vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber and protein, fast. Reduced-fat mayo and spicy chili sauce keep the total fat in this dish under 3 grams per serving.
Culinary Tip: Meat Tenderizing
The enzyme actinidin found in GREEN Kiwifruit makes a natural meat tenderizer. Simply peel and mash a kiwifruit and spread the pulp on a tough cut of meat. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes, and then lightly scrape the kiwifruit off the meat, discarding the kiwifruit. |
