What Do You Call A Kiwi In Chip Form? A Chiwi! (Win!)

Nutritionist Sarah Goodman is always trying out different ways to make healthy snacks taste awesome; she loves her dehydrator and uses it all the time. A few years ago, as she was testing recipes, she thought it would be cool to experiment with a fruit she loved: kiwis! She really wanted to make chips out of the kiwis and was so delighted when they came out tasting just like Sour Patch Kids. The perfect healthy snack for my never-ending sweet tooth! And so Chiwis was born; we chatted with Sarah to learn more! —Noa Nichol

Hi Sarah! When and why did you launch Chiwis? What niche were/are you aiming to fill with the brand?

I started Chiwis after years and years of people snacking on my homemade kiwi chips on hikes and adventures and telling me how much they loved them. I researched the market and discovered there was a hole there, so I built the brand and launched Chiwis into stores February of 2021 with two kiwi chip-based flavours. I knew I wanted to expand the line to non-kiwi based chips and we recently launched three new flavours: mango, pineapple and orange, all light and crispy chips.

What products do you currently offer, and what makes them unique?

We are all about 100 per cent natural snacks that taste amazing, use as much of the fruit as possible while using upcycled fruits as much as possible. As a nutritionist and health nut I am always looking at snack offerings in the grocery store, and it’s interesting to see so many “healthy snacks” that are actually filled with unhealthy fillers, binders and sugar substitutes. I wanted to build a line of products that had nothing added ever, were tasty and sweet and guilt free. Our current line up includes:

• Original Chiwis: Straight up kiwi chips
• Tropical Chiwis: Kiwi chips, pineapple chips, and coconut chips
• Mango Chiwis: Crispy mango chips that include the skin
• Pina Chiwis: Crispy and sweet pineapple chips that include the core of the fruit for additional fiber and less waste in the manufacturing process
• Orange Chiwis: Crispy, light, and sweet, these orange chips include the rind for extra fib and antioxidants

How do you suggest incorporating kiwi chips into our snacking routines? When’s your fave time to enjoy them?

Chiwis are amazing on their own, and they’re such a light and mess free snack that you can take them anywhere. They were built as an adventure snack, but they’ve turned into much more. Chiwis can be added to your yogurt, granola, ice cream, cakes, charcuterie boards, and even used in cocktails! Personally, I always have Chiwis beside my desk for midday snacking, in my backpack for adventures and in the car for snacking en route to wherever I’m off to.

Besides kiwis, what would be your dream fruit to dry and snack on?

We’re always looking to expand the line, and we’ve got some really cool products in research and development at the moment, we are looking to add a few in the next year but they’re top secret ?
