Zespri's school campaign to promote healthy eating is called "Fruit, a tasty loot"

For the 2012-2013 academic year, Zespri has presented its new school campaign in Spain Fruit, a tasty loot where, through different activities, children can choose to get prizes. Zespri develops this type of school campaigns in most European countries, they are aimed at students and teachers and include informative posters on the consumption of fruits, brochures on the properties and benefits of kiwi for health.

Zespri reinforces its campaigns with a space for consultation and information located on its website called Zespri Kids. From this page, children have the possibility of consulting information on the most appropriate way to eat healthy food, learn about the bones that make up the human skeleton or consult recipes in which this fruit stands out to drink or eat at breakfast, lunch or snack .

This leading brand is also able to meet the growing demand for organic food by consumers and proposes an organic crop variant, called Zespri Organic Green, which grows in full harmony with nature. Each Zespri Organic Green kiwi undergoes strict quality controls through various agencies, such as BIO-GRO, the most important in New Zealand.

We remember that Kiwi is high in vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants and natural enzymes that help improve digestion. In addition, green kiwi becomes a great source of health with just 72 kcal per 100 grams. And you can enjoy this fresh and juicy fruit throughout the year.

You can also consume the gold type, tender pulp, sweet and tropical flavor. Its characteristics include the high dose of vitamin C, fiber and potassium it contains. It is also rich in vitamin E and folic acid and, thanks to its acidic pH, preserves vitamins for a long time. Zespri Gold kiwi has a low fat content: 55 kcal per 100 grams.

He folic acid (Vitamin B9) is also present in Zespri kiwifruit, which makes them especially recommended for pregnant women, as it helps prevent some malformations of the fetus. Also, its glycemic index is very low (39 green and 48 yellow), so its sugars are released gradually and are appropriate for diabetic people. The gradual release of sugars also allows fats to burn relatively easily and reduce the feeling of hunger.

So the los Kiwis Zespri They are ideal for the whole family, including children. For them, it is a perfect snack, both for its exquisite flavor, and for its ease of consumption anywhere, since it can be split into two halves and eaten with a spoon just like a dairy dessert. For the schools the promotion they carry out is very interesting so you can take a look at their page to see the conditions and prizes.

Today I asked the young man who attends a fruit shop in front of a school if the kids, high school and high school, at recess took advantage to buy and eat fruit. He said no, they seem to like buns better. So it may be necessary to promote healthy and healthy eating with the consumption of fruit instead of pastries, most of them probably industrial.

And finally, also They have a game for iPod Touch / iPhone! It's about Kiwi Farm, in English and in Chinese. The game is about how to create a kiwi colony in New Zealand and take care of the plantation by adding bees to pollinate, fighting the pests, harvesting the crop, feeding the baby with kiwis and many more functions that we have yet to discover how to expand the plantation, hire new workers and build warehouses to store the kiwis. Very fun and entertaining to teach kids from 4 years.
