Whenever there is a big technology summit in India, the discussion is usually about Artificial Intelligence, startups and future technology. But a moment related to the recently held India AI Impact Summit came to light which sparked a different debate on social media. This discussion started not about any new technology, but about the taste of Delhi’s fruits. A foreign tech leader’s comment on Delhi’s fruits has now gone viral on the internet and people are reacting fiercely to it.

Sarah Hooker praised Indian food

Actually, Sara Hooker, co-founder and CEO of Adaptation, who attended the summit, shared a post on her social media platform X. While sharing a picture of freshly cut fruits, she wrote that the thing she will miss the most about Delhi is the fruits here which really taste like fruits. He also said that people who have grown up outside the United States sometimes feel that fruits available in the United States seem somewhat “sanitized”, meaning they lack true freshness and flavor.

One of the things I will miss the most about Delhi is fruit that tastes like fruit.

For anyone who grew up outside the US, there is the realization that in the US fruit somehow tastes like it was sanitized. pic.twitter.com/7RA2oW5Xfl

One user wrote that in America the fruits are genetically modified, whereas in India there are still some indigenous varieties left which have different taste. Another user commented that the fruits and vegetables in America look very shiny and perfect, but the aroma and authenticity of the vegetables found in Indian markets is different. Giving an example, he said that the fragrance of coriander purchased from the Indian farmer’s market remains on the hands for hours.
