Sweet start with a kiwi

Good morning to all, it's Friday morning, what's your plan for this weekend? I am going to stock up more Zespri kiwi fruit. 

I take one Zespri SunGold kiwi every morning, it's delicious and love the sweetness of this fruit.

It has 10 times the nutrition of apples and 3 times the vitamin C of oranges.

This power-packed fruit is also beneficial for health conditions such as diabetes, as it has a low glycaemic index (GI) (a measurement carried out on foods and their impact on our blood sugar).

My mom is a diabetes, I always encourage her to eat kiwi. 

The renowned for its mellow yellow flesh and luscious tropical-sweet flavour makes it the perfect summertime refreshment. 

Zespri Kiwifruit also contributes to good digestive health by:

• High Vitamin C  - a unique enzyme that helps improve digestion and relives bloating from a heavy meal.
• Contains Actinidin - a unique enzyme that helps to improve digestion and relives bloating from a heavy meal.
• Has potassium that is essential for cell, tissues and organ functions.
• Rich in potassium that is essential for cells, tissues and organ functions.
• Deliciously juicy, refreshingly sweet.

I attended the Food Art Workshop by Lee Samantha last Saturday. It was located at Marmalade Café, Lot 2 Level G3, Block C1, Publika Solaris, Kuala Lumpur

Being mommy of two boys, I know it's important that we have balance meal for ourselves and our children. Do you have hard time to give fruits to feed your child? I am happy to have attended the Food Art I learn so much from there. Thanks to Zespri Kiwifruit Malaysia, for this invitation.

It is my first time to go Marmalade Cafe, it's located not far from the 7-11 outlet, just need to walk all the way to the end.

Marmalade Cafe is at the end of office block.

Nice table setting with tools and many Zespri Kiwifruit.

We are put to groups to try out the food art ourselves, how exciting...

I can't believe I can do it, so can you but beware knife and sharp tools are not suitable for children.

Puan Nurul Aziah Musa a consultant Dietitian in private sector, she has 14 years of experience. 

She explains to use about kiwifruit and digestive health. 

A study found that out of the 27 most commonly eaten fruits, kiwifruit is the most nutrient dense.

Nutrient dense = Low in calories, high in nutrients.

Kiwifruit is one of the nature's perfect food.

Benefits of Kiwifruit for Digestive Health

Digestive Disorders?

Do you know what is Actinidin?

An enzyme found in kiwifruit which breakdowns proteins and improves gastric digestion

Aunty Kiwi was there to explains to us too about Zespri Kiwifruit, she says that the kiwi are freshly pluck and if it falls on the ground, the worker will not use them. 

Who doesn't like Vitamin C? Do you know that each serving of kiwifruit has nearly 2 1/2 times the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. Vitamin C is proven to boost the immune system and fight the effects of the stress and aging.

 Lee Samantha is there to teach us fun and amazing way to prepare meals for child. If you have followed her on instagram, you'll know her.

Lee Samantha explains to us that she usually sketches before making the food art. 

It's amazing how she can gets the idea so quickly, she says that she saw a cat on the street, then she thinks of the cat as hungry for a fish.

How to make the empty plate looks more interesting? Using the kiwifruit, strawberry jam, bread, peanut butter jam or butter. 

It's really up to you on how you like to put them together, look I have created this cute orange cat dreaming of a fish. Oh well... after holding the plate straight the fish becomes a bird.

Selfie time with Lee Samantha, check out my creation of food art using Zespri Kiwifruit. 

They are two types of Zespri Kiwifruit, Green Kiwifruit and SunGold Kiwifruit.

The way to difference them is Zespri Green kiwifruit is hairy while SunGold Kiwifruit is not.

Zespri Green Kiwifruit - Love the Fibre Boost!

Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit - Delicious Juicy n Refreshing sweet

How to Ripen Zespri Green Kiwifruit?

Put in a bag with fruits such as apples or bananas

Fruit taste sweeter when slightly soft or ripe.

Store at room temperature for 2-5 days for better riipening.

It's simple and easy making food art, everyone can do it. 

Now you know how to mix the healthy fruits on the place for your child to eat.
