Kranji Countryside Farmers’ Market

We made it down to the Kranji Countryside Farmers’ Market today and there was lots to see and buy. This is the first-ever authentic local farmers’ market in Singapore and there are plans to have it every quarter. You can still make your way down tomorrow from 4pm onwards. Here are some photos from our excursion but do excuse the lack of captions; we had a very tiring day!

Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit Launch Event

I love Zespri® Gold Kiwifruit because they are so juicy and sweet and I was delighted to be invited to the media launch of Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit. The fact that the launch was held at GRUB was an added incentive for me.

Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit has been under development since 2004; that’s ten long years of research! And it’s totally worth the wait because Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit is not only beautiful to look at, it is incredibly delicious and packed with more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals. Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit also has exceptionally high levels of antioxidants: 3 times more Vitamin C than oranges and 7 times more Vitamin E than apples and oranges in a fruit. And it’s completely natural; not genetically-modified!

At the launch, we were treated to a variety of drinks, hor d’oeuvres, a main course and some desserts, all incorporating Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit. It’s amazing just how versatile the fruit is. I try to eat a kiwifruit a day when I’m at work and it’s such a convenient fruit to eat: just cut and scoop with a spoon or the Zespri® spife! Most importantly, the kids enjoy yellow kiwifruit too so they were more than happy to attack the Zespri® SunGold Kiwifruit that I brought home from the launch.
