It is thus no surprise that everyone loved the fruit at the launch!
A video presentation was the perfect start to the evening and
the fruit was unveiled amidst much admiration, fan fare and a huge round of applause.
One of the highlights of the evening was a
unique cook-off session where Chef Ranveer
demonstrated a special SunGold Kiwi
fruit
Martini for the season - which Team Kalki and Team Pooja recreate
d

volunteers from the audience
, in under 5 minutes! Both Kalki and Pooja were up for the challenge as soon as Chef Brar proposed it, and Zespri
was
extremely pleased to facilitate the same.
The correct way to eat a kiwifruit was also demonstrated - a 3 step process to cut, scoop and enjoy the fruit! The evening also saw this as a unique toast for one and all to celebrate the introduction of this glorious fruit.
