RubyRed is poised to capture premium markets
In December 2019, the Zespri Board approved the commercialisation of a new red kiwifruit cultivar. Zespri RubyRed is a premium product, and research confirms it a nutritionally rich fruit with higher vitamin C and potassium levels than other fruits, and higher concentrations of both than Hayward and SunGold. Zespri Red also contains polyphenols which contribute to antioxidant capacity and, while higher on the Glycaemic Index (GI) than Hayward and SunGold, it is still low GI making it suitable for those concerned with blood sugar levels.

2019年12月，Zespri董事会批准了一种新的红色猕猴桃品种的商业化。Zespri RubyRed是一种优质产品，研究证实，它是一种营养丰富的水果，比其他水果含有更高的维生素C和钾，并且比海沃德和桑戈德的含量都高。Zespri Red还含有多酚类物质，有助于提高抗氧化能力，尽管其血糖指数（GI）高于海沃德和桑戈尔德，但GI仍然较低，适合那些关注血糖水平的人。

The launch of Zespri RubyRed aligns well with current international trends for increased consumption of premium fruit, and market research indicates it could attract customers of other premium and exotic fruits, rather than being substituted for Zespri’s other kiwifruit varieties.
