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董事會批準了一種新的紅色獼猴桃品種的商業(yè)化。Zespri RubyRed是一種優(yōu)質(zhì)產(chǎn)品，研究證實，它是一種營養(yǎng)豐富的水果，比其他水果含有更高的維生素C和鉀，并且比海沃德和桑戈德的含量都高。Zespri Red還含有多酚類物質(zhì)，有助于提高抗氧化能力，盡管其血糖指數(shù)（GI）高于海沃德和桑戈爾德，但GI仍然較低，適合那些關(guān)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.

Zespri RubyRed的推出符合當前國際上高檔水果消費量增加的趨勢，市場研究表明，它可以吸引其他高檔和異國水果的客戶，而不是取代Zespri的其他獼猴桃品種。
