India opened its market for the US apples way back in 2001 when only four containers were shipped. Now, the US apples have a market share of 16 per cent in India's imported apples, according to the Washington Apple Commission. "Export of the US applies are rising every year. Between March and July, apples are exported to India when domestic supplies in India are exhausted," US Ambassador to India Kenneth I Juster said at the launch of the campaign here.

 The Commission's President Todd Fryhover said the US aims to export 3 million boxes of apples in the ongoing 2019-20 marketing year (September-August), up by 20 per cent from 2.5 million boxes in the last year.
 Mainly four varieties of apples -- Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala and Fuji -- are exported to India. However, 90 per cent of the shipments comprise of 'Red Delicious' variety which is known for its crunchy texture and mildly sweet flavour, he said.
 The US apples, which attract 70 per cent of customs duty, are shipped through sea route and mostly via Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata ports, he added.
 Stating that India is the second largest market for US applies after Mexico, Fryhover said the US has lot of opportunities to expand its network here and it does not feel threatened if Chinese apples are allowed in India.
 India, which produces about 75 million bushel of apples annually mainly in Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir, imports about 28 million bushels of apples a year from different countries to meet its domestic demand, he said.
 A campaign 'Washington Apples Kuchh Khaas Hai' was also launched to create awareness among Indian consumers about Washington Apple varieties, best practices, food safety and fine growing conditions that exist for growing apple in Washington.
 Patani and Kapoor, who are going to be part of the awareness campaign, said they strongly believe an apple a day keeps the doctor away and it was an easy choice to endorse this fruit as they are convinced that "Washington Apples" are known for best quality because they are grown in highly suitable conditions, packed and shipped with great care.

Here’s what master chef Sanjeev Kapoor cooked for PM Modi and the Royals yesterday!

Masterchef <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sanjeev+kapoor">Sanjeev Kapoor</a> having successfully ventured into a lot of businesses is now catching up with the trend. With a number of<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=start+ups"> start ups</a> crowding the Indian enterprise scenario, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sanjeev+kapoor">Kapoor of Khana Khazana</a> fame will now be investing in food startups by backing mobile-based aggregator ZuperMeal, a marketplace and delivery service for home-cooked meals. 
 
Kapoor and Ravi Saxena, cofounder of kitchen appliance maker Wonderchef, along with two foreign partners will invest $2 million (about 13 crore) together in the two-month old Mumbai-based startup for an undisclosed stake.

Kapoor said keeping in mind that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=women+empowerment">women empowerment</a> and skill development are key priorities outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ZuperMeal helps Indian women to use their skills to make money and take pride that their food is recognised.

New Delhi, May 22 (IANSlife) They say tough times don't last, tough people do. With the Covid-19 pandemic restricting ones day-to-day movement outdoors, it is extremely crucial to set a routine and structure yourself at home and to what you eat. The lockdown combined with the lack of physical activity and binge-eating will have some serious consequences on our health, however it's not too late to get things in order. Leading Chef Sanjeev Kapoor and renowned Nutritionist Ishi Khosla show your how to manage sweet cravings through summer. Summer's scream mangoes! Yes, it is important to watch your diet and cut down on calories, however one does not need to eliminate the sweet ingredient from your diet entirely if consumed wisely and smartly. As Indians, we are naturally are accustomed to a sweet palette; we need to practice form of sugar-distancing just as much as we are social-distancing. Try and substitute the sugary goodness of milkshakes and coolers with healthier low calorie sweeteners. This can reduce your calorie intake without compensating on your dose of sweetness. Additionally, low calorie sweeteners available in the market have been thoroughly investigated and their safety has been confirmed by many studies and competent authorities like WHO and US FDA. In India, low-calorie sweeteners are regulated by FSSAI based on their claims and recommended ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake). Kapoor suggests, "Just make sure you're eating right, providing your body with appropriate nutrition and keep it hydrated. In this situation for instance, since I have a sweet tooth, I make sure to substitute the regular sugar with SugarFree products whenever possible. Also, try and consume a lot of salads and soups, fruit and vegetables if you are able to procure them. This will suffice your daily need of vitamins, fibre, roughage, natural sugars and water." He adds, "Also make sure to burn the extra calories by exercising in your homes. Yoga and helping each other with the regular household chores is the best way to keep fit, without venturing out of your homes. In the end, I would just say that all of us together should hope to get through this situation, hale and hearty." Nutritionist Ishi Khosla states, "Since our bodies are at rest, it's important to remember that our diets can't be the same as before. We need to cut down on the number of meals and maybe limit them to just two. When our movements get curtailed, our appetite falls but cravings increase. We shouldn't give in to those cravings. It's important to restrict one's diet without compromising on nutrition. Include immunity-boosting food like aloe vera, tulsi, coconut oil in the diet. Replace sugar with low calorie sweeteners and keep hydrating! New realities mean that we need to look at food and diet in a new way." Lastly, it is of utmost priority to see this new way of life optimistically and adapt to the environment, a healthier and happier you. Do not restrict yourself, enjoy your sweet meals, devour on mangoes, but do so smartly! (N. Lothungbeni Humtsoe can be contacted at lothungbeni.h@ians.in) --IANS lh/tb/
