Kikkoman Foods Corporation will launch "Del Monte Pure Fruit Grated Kiwi Mix" on March 16, 2026.
New Product: "Pure Fruit Grated Kiwi Mix"
The newly launched "Pure Fruit Grated Kiwi Mix" combines kiwi puree, kiwi juice, and apple for a refreshing taste. The product features the distinctive tangy flavor and pulpy texture of kiwi fruit.
According to Kikkoman's research, common concerns about kiwi fruit include "difficulty identifying ripeness," "inconsistent flavor," and "difficulty or inconvenience peeling the skin." (Note 2) "Pure Fruit Grated Kiwi Mix" offers a consistent taste every time without the hassle of peeling, making it ideal for those who want to enjoy kiwi fruit easily.
About the "Pure Fruit" Series
The "Pure Fruit" series consists of portable grated fruit pouches made with 100% fruit (fresh fruit equivalent ratio) (Note 3), providing half a day's fruit serving (Note 4) in one pouch. The pouches can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere—whether for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dessert.
Additionally, the "Pure Fruit" series can be frozen. To highlight this feature, packages will include a "Freeze and Carry OK!" logo for the spring and summer season. (Currently available products will be gradually updated from around April 2026 onward)
When frozen, the pouches can also serve as ice packs for lunch boxes and other purposes.
Del Monte introduces a new way to enjoy fruit with the "Pure Fruit" series—portable fruit that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. The "Pure Fruit" series expanded to nationwide distribution in March 2025, and since the nationwide rollout, has surpassed cumulative sales of 2.8 million pouches.
