(NewsUSA) - Kiwifruit, with its bright green flesh and sweet-tart flavor, is a powerhouse of nutrition packed into a small, fuzzy package. Originally from China and popularized in New Zealand, today much of the kiwifruit available in North America during the summer comes from Chile. Thanks to Chile’s opposite growing season, fresh kiwifruit arrives during the Northern Hemisphere’s warmer months, making it a seasonal favorite for healthy snacks and school lunches.

Just one kiwifruit provides 120% of your daily requirement for vitamin C. It's rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin K, and antioxidants. Kiwifruit can also be a supportive part of a GLP-1 diet.  This is because it has a low glycemic index, high fiber content and is nutrient dense with a low-calorie profile.

 In other words, kiwifruit is the perfect treat to keep your summer slim and trim!

For summer snacking, kiwifruit is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it sliced and chilled, blended into smoothies, or paired with yogurt for a high-protein snack. For back-to-school season, kiwifruit is a lunchbox win—easy to prep and packed with nutrients to support focus and energy. Try cutting it into fun shapes or serving it with a toothpick for kid-friendly appeal. Here’s an idea perfect for kids, or maybe just the kid in you. Turn a basic bagel into a blueberry-eyed panda with kiwifruit "ears" and a creamy kiwifruit purée spread!

You can even freeze kiwifruit slices for a naturally sweet popsicle alternative—perfect for hot days or after-school treats. Whether you're looking to nourish your body, or just enjoy a naturally delicious fruit, Chilean kiwifruit is a fresh, smart choice.
