Kiwi Fruits are good for kids!
Since young, many of us have been told to eat our vegetables and fruits! Our parents therefore stuffed us with as much apples and oranges, when they could not stuff the vegetables down our throats!
Recently, I was invited to a Media Event by Zespri and I realized that Kiwi fruits have:
- The Vitamin C content of 2 Oranges!
- 95% of the Vitamin C content that you need in a day
- High in Fibre ( which means good for poo-poo)
As compared to Apples, it KOs the apple in terms of nutrition…
In fact, if you want to eat a fruit…U should eat a Kiwi Fruit.
I thought that these facts were really revelational, and a group of Bloggers including myself, were treated to a live demonstration by Renowned Food Blogger, Dr. Leslie Tay, on how to maximize our Kiwi Fruit Diet.
Besides sharing with us little facts like the Kiwi Fruit first originated from China and not New Zealand, he shared with us his home-made dishes on how to introduce the Kiwi Fruit into our diet.
There were dishes like Kiwi-sago Pudding (ala the familiar Mango Pudding, Kiwi with oolong jelly and even a Traffic Light Smoothie! This drink would have been a hit at Nicole’s Traffic Light Party! 🙂
We also got our chance to get our hands dirty, and make the creations for ourselves.
Nicole enjoyed herself making the Kiwi Fruit Honey Bread Sandwiches.
Check out Nicole’s Satisfied Face! 🙂
This was also our family’s first time at the Asian Food Channel kitchen, as it was fun, just trying to make all the concoctions that we were taught!
Many thanks to the folks at Zespri and Edelman for inviting us for this event! 🙂
