Specify Kiwifruit by Ripeness, Color and Cut Geometry
Kiwifruit can soften and lose visual contrast after thawing. The order should distinguish decorative slices from dice or puree intended for further processing.
Ripeness
Balance sweetness and softness with the firmness needed to retain the declared form.
Green color
Agree the acceptable natural green-to-yellow direction and discoloration limit.
Cut geometry
Define slice thickness, diameter or dice size together with broken and off-size tolerances.

Choose the Kiwifruit Form That Fits the Process
Slices and halves emphasize visible fruit pattern; dice supports controlled inclusion; puree suits uniform fruit bases. Select the form after checking thawed texture in the real application.

Confirm Kiwi Raw Material and Frozen Inventory by Order
We coordinate cultivar direction, China origin, production window and stock with the order. Repeat programs should carry forward an approved color, maturity and cut reference.

|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Peeling, trimming and core condition | Protects visible appearance and eating quality |
| Maturity | Firmness, sweetness-acidity direction and thawed texture | Controls breakage and finished-product performance |
| Geometry | Slice thickness/diameter or dice size | Supports dosing and presentation |

Control Peel Residue, Color and Thawed Cut Integrity
Review declared size, off-size, broken pieces, peel or core residue, maturity, discoloration, clumps, foreign material, chemistry, microbiology and any agreed destination tests.

Use these answers to prepare your product inquiry. The quotation states product availability, specification, packing and delivery timing.
Which IQF kiwifruit forms can XMG supply?
Working forms include slices, 10 mm dice, 15 mm dice, lengthwise halves and puree. Final size and availability are stated in the quotation.
Is the kiwifruit peeled?
The listed piece formats are prepared as peeled fruit. The specification should define allowable peel residue, hard-core material and trimming defects.
How do I protect green color?
Set the acceptable natural color range and discoloration limit, then review a sample in the intended storage and application conditions.
Will kiwi slices stay firm after thawing?
Texture depends on maturity, cut and handling. Approve the proposed slice or half in the real use and define any relevant broken or soft-piece limits.
Are seeds removed from kiwi puree?
Do not assume seed removal. Confirm the screen, seed tolerance and finished-product requirement so we can review the relevant route.
Can you guarantee a cultivar or crop season?
We confirm cultivar direction, origin, production window and stock for the quoted supply option. These details can change between routes and lots.
What packing works for kiwi slices?
We coordinate case weight, liner, carton and loading to reduce handling pressure, plus foodservice or retail formats when required.
What should the RFQ include?
Send form, size, ripeness/color target, application, quantity, pack, destination, document needs and timing. A current specification or sample target is helpful.
