Seattle's taste buds were tantalized by Indian mangoes during a special event aimed at boosting the fruit's regional market presence. Organized by the Indian Consulate and APEDA, the showcase featured five distinctive varieties, including Dussehri and Chausa, to prominent importers and select media personnel.
Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown, Senator Manka Dhingra, and Seattle Port Commissioner Sam Cho savored and appreciated the unique aroma and texture of each mango type.
