Kiwi

Our customers use kiwi because of its bright flavor, vibrant appearance, and strong nutritional benefits. Kiwi has a naturally sweet-tart taste that enhances a variety of products, including beverages, desserts, yogurts, and fruit blends. Its bright green color, often dotted with small black seeds, adds visual appeal and can help create fresh, premium-looking products. Kiwi is also rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting immune health and wellness-related marketing claims. It is commonly processed into purees, concentrates, and dried forms, which extend shelf life and make it convenient for large-scale manufacturing and consistent product formulation.

About Kiwi

From Gooseberry to Kiwi

Kiwifruit, commonly called kiwi, is a small fruit that grows on a woody vine and is native to China, where it was originally known as the Chinese gooseberry. It has a brown, fuzzy outer skin and bright green or golden flesh with a ring of tiny black seeds inside. The fruit has a soft, juicy texture and a distinctive appearance when sliced. Kiwi plants grow best in temperate climates and require support structures, like trellises, to accommodate their climbing vines. The fruit is typically harvested when mature but still firm, and it continues to ripen after picking.
