Today I have been checking the condition of the kiwifruit we have stored for our own use. If I keep it in a cool place and check it regularly and take out any ripe ones to eat, some of it will last till December. (After the leaves fall off the vines we always find lovely fruit that was hiding above the canopy of leaves at picking time and so got missed then. So this is vine ripened for an extra 5 or 6 weeks.)I thought you might be interested in the kiwifruit juice that is made from the imperfect fruit (not suitable to export because of the shape or they have marks on the skin etc. )
It is marketed under the brand name Nekta. (Green Kiwifruit with Aloe Vera Juice.) The label tells me it is marketed in NZ; Australia; Hong Kong and Macau. Although we have our own fruit I also buy the juice as I like to serve it to visitors especially anyone from overseas. Kids love the colour. It may be drunk as is, or diluted with water or lemonade. The gold variety is also available as juice, but is too sweet for my personal liking.
MUCH nicer than eggs ;)
ReplyDeleteWe also can buy this juice in one of our grocercy store chains in Canada. I have never tried it but after reading your blog, I am going to go back and get some to try.
ReplyDeleteOh those look so refreshing and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI find all this so interesting. I have never seen Kiwi Juice for sale in the UK.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that does look very appetizing! I'll have to look for it here. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it in the UK either but maybe I'm not looking n the right places!
