10 Delicious Kiwifruits Food Ideas #AmazingZespri

Did you know that Zespri kiwifruits are in season now?? You've probably seen packets and packets of the distinctive furry, oval fruits straight from the vines of New Zealand at the supermarkets lately. Zespri Green kiwis are in season May - December, while Zespri Gold kiwis are in season May - October.

Seasonality refers to the times of the year when any type of food is at its peak, either in terms of harvest or flavour... although both usually coincide together. It's also the time when the item is at its cheapest and freshest in the market, so it's really a no-brainer why you should try to eat seasonal food to savour the food at its finest taste, and at its lowest cost.

Last week we attended a dinner at Fern & Kiwi {a bar & eatery serving New Zealand food} to celebrate the launch of the Zespri Kiwifruit season this year and we tasted some fine dishes prepared with the star of the night - kiwifruits! I thought to compile a list of 10 Delicious Kiwifruits Food Ideas to inspire you to eat more of this nutritious fruit while its in season too.

1. Kiwi Seafood Salad made with marinated prawns, scallops, snapper tossed with Zespri Kiwifruit.

2. Pan-seared Pacific Snapper Loin with Kiwi Coulis {thick sauce made from puréed and strained vegetables or fruit} served on a bed of lyonnais potato

3. Charred-Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Kiwi Relish served with mashed potato

My family eats kiwifruits whenever its in season and we had so much fun at last year's Zespri Kiwifruit 14-Day Daily Scoop of Amazing Challenge, we're going to try it out again this year :) I hope to prepare some of the new dishes listed above, and perhaps you'd like to join me on this fun journey too? Here's a suggested 14-day calendar you can follow to include kiwifruits in your daily diet. You can also find out more on kiwifruits and its recipes on Zespri Singapore website.
