The Hayward kiwi is the main green variety produced for the world’s markets and dominates production in most growing areas. It is moderately hairy and more rounded than other kiwi varieties. Hayward has the best eating quality of the existing green varieties, mainly due to higher levels of sweetness.

The SunGold kiwi, which is unique to Zespri®, has that tropically sweet taste. Even though you might see other yellow kiwis in the supermarket, only Zespri® SunGold™ has a sweet tropical taste, and a smooth hairless skin. Other golden kiwis that aren’t SunGold™ will have fuzz and more of a tangy-sweet taste.
