#ChileanEasyPeelers

One of Bodhi's many nicknames is 'fruit bat' He boy loves his fruit ! I have to keep the fruit bowl stocked at all times but this isn't such a bad thing.

Most mornings after his breakfast Bodhi will help himself to something out of the fruit bowl, Now that he is five nearly six he can peal an easy peeler no problems and loves the fact that he can!

I myself try my hardest to eat fruit but sometimes a busy day gets in the way and before you know it you've gone all day with out eating! I will take fruit with me to my evening job to keep me going.

I try to buy fruit that is in season as not only is it cheaper but i find the fruit tastes so much better when you buy it at the right time of the year, Our Chilean easy peelers are full of flavour, nice and juicy and sweet.

 Bodhi " I love peeling my own fruit , I wish mummy would let me eat all of these in one go. Two thumbs up from me ! "

About Chilean Easy Peeler

The demand for Chilean easy peelers are growing in the UK as the convenient, seedless fruits are sweet in flavor and a hydrating snack, perfect for families.

With year on year growth of 32% in tonnes sold in the UK, the amount of Chilean mandarins sold last season reached over 2,000 tonnes. The predictions for this year’s crop are even greater.

Available in supermarket shelves from September to November, the delicious fruits are the ideal snack for back to school season.

1. Easy peelers are great for children's lunch boxes. Young children love doing things for themselves and easy peelers help them do just this. With easy peelers, children are also less likely to need teachers help to peel these, so they are more likely be eaten rather than left in lunch boxes. Older children love a snack they can grab before studies or while they’re on the go.
2. Easy peelers are a great source of water - they are about 87 per cent water. Children should be encouraged to drink water but eating foods with a high water content such as citrus fruit may help to keep them hydrated too. These are especially great to pack on hot or busy days, or when children are taking part in sports, to help keep hydration levels topped up.
3. Easy peelers are low in calories, fat and a good provider of vitamins and minerals. In particular, they help to provide children with fibre, folate, vitamin C, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
4. Easy peelers save mums time in a morning and as we know time is precious. No more peeling, cutting and slicing when making your child’s lunch boxes - just pop in an easy peel mandarin!
5. To make peeling even more fun, attach a sticker on the peel in a morning when making up your child's lunch box. Easy peelers can also be packed into picnics, passed out and eaten at sporting events or practice, given as a treat and presented to your child when you pick them up for a healthy energy and juicy fluid boost.
