Frequently Asked Questions

Kiwis are a superfood that aren’t usually seen in the snack aisle and we wanted to change that. Kiwis are full of nutrients, and the health benefits from kiwis surpass many other fruits. We manufacture our kiwi chips a special way that retains the nutrients in the fruit and results in a sweet and sour candy-like chip that we needed to share with the world!

One serving of original Chiwis has more vitamin C than two oranges and more potassium than two bananas! Chiwis are nature’s candy, with a delightful taste in a nutritious package.

Chiwis are 100% gluten free. The only ingredients we use in Chiwis Kiwi Chips are fresh fruits. Our production facilities are gluten free, meaning there are no gluten products anywhere near our kitchens or equipment.

Chiwis are a vegan friendly snack that anyone can love. We don’t use any animal products in any of our recipes and never will. We love all animals, just ask our office dog Norah the Explorer :)

They sure are. Chiwis are made with 100% paleo friendly ingredients for healthy snacking on the go.

The skin on kiwis is full of antioxidants and nutrients, and it also gives our kiwi chips that tangy sweet flavour in each bite! When you eat the skin of the kiwi you are actually consuming triple the fiber and preserving much of the vitamin C content that is abundant in the kiwi fruit. 

Kiwis vary in size, but there are about 4 full kiwis per full package of Chiwis Original flavour, and 2 full kiwis in Chiwis Tropical flavour (which has pineapple and coconut as well). 

Chiwis Kiwi Chips are made in a very special manner that keeps much more of the nutrients in the chip than conventional dehydration methods. Kiwi chips contain about the same amount of nutrients as fresh kiwis but are condensed in a much smaller package! Chiwis Kiwi Chips contain about 3.5 times the amount of fiber, vitamins, and minerals per gram than fresh fruit. 

Kiwis are so special because they are full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium, all packed into a powerful little package. Every part of the kiwi is edible and that’s why we use the skin! Did you know that the high amount of vitamin C and antioxidants in kiwis can have a beneficial effect on lung function for people suffering with asthma, and can also support immune function? The fiber in kiwis helps digestion, and the antioxidants in this superfruit can help reduce the risk of oxidative DNA damage. Kiwis are also proven to lower blood pressure, a study in 2014 found evidence that three kiwis a day can lower blood pressure more than an apple a day! We told you kiwis are special :)

Chiwis are a natural product and we process very minimally. We wash our kiwis (that come right from orchards near our manufacturing facility) and then slice them using a big machine that slices a very large amount of kiwis at a time. Sometimes the slicer won't cut off the part of the kiwi where the stem used to be attached and those pieces will end up becoming chips.

We try to ensure that none of those nubby chips get in the packaging line but sometimes some sneak through, and that's why we have a small warning on the back of our bag to let you know that you may see some bits of stem. 

Your Chiwis experience means the world to us and we work hard to ensure that your experience is top notch. If you are unhappy about your Chiwis please let us know at hello@chiwis.co and we will do everything in our power to make it right.
