FEBRUARY IS NZ’S FIRST WATERMELON MONTH

This February has been proclaimed NZ’s first National Watermelon Month.
To celebrate one of the nation’s most popular summer fruits, Kiwi-owned producer LeaderBrand has planned a number of initiatives, contests and giveaways, taking place from 1 to 29 February.
“We think it’s an iconic New Zealand summer fruit that is well worth celebrating,” said LeaderBrand Marketing Manager, Bevan Roach. “It is also one of the most guilt-free foods you can get, having excellent levels of vitamins A and C, and only 80 calories in two cups.”
Kiwi bloggers can get creative and enter their watermelon-based recipes into a special competition, whilst meal inspiration and tips from the experts will be shared on LeaderBrand Facebook page.
