'Exotic' fruits wasted on the kids

Blame it on their potato-eating fathers, but for Kiwi kids ‘exotic’ fruits – like guava and feijoa – rank lowest.

Boys’ favourites are bananas and apples, whereas Kiwi girls love strawberries. The good news is nine out of ten kids surveyed said they enjoyed eating fruit and one third said they eat fruit because they like the taste. Unfortunately, a third of children say they are not fond of vegetables.
