Kiwifruit–good for us in ways that might surprise you!

Sure, kiwifruit is good for us–it’s packed full of great nutrients. Just look at the list:

•	One of the only low-fat sources of vitamin E
•	High in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants
•	Readily included in a diabetic diet
•	More vitamin C than an orange (240% the recommended daily intake!)
•	More potassium than a banana
•	Low in sodium
•	Less than 50 calories in each whole fruit

But beyond the nutritional benefits, right now the Foundation could gain additional benefits from kiwifruits. Announcing: the Kiwifruits for Kids Challenge!

ZESPRI Kiwifruits has selected six nonprofits across the U.S. to compete in a Facebook-based game. The nonprofit earning the most points will win $10,000; second place wins $5000. Winning either prize would allow us to reach even more kids with our Wise Kids® programs, to teach them about healthy living and exploring the outdoors as we continue to battle childhood obesity.

Playing the kiwi games only requires a Facebook account and a few minutes of your time each day. Please help us win the golden kiwi! Start now, and play as often as you can through Oct. 21, 2011.

For more details, see the Kiwifruit for Kids Launch press release.
