The exhibition featured premier brands in today’s F&B industry. Each booth offered something different, and it was a roller-coaster ride for my taste buds to explore their diverse range of flavors and textures. Gopal Snacks had me hooked with their incredible variety of namkeen. Their Cristos crunchy wafers are a standout, featuring bold and unique flavors like African Mint, Korean BBQ, and Mexican Chili. They are also known for their tasty gathiyas and Coringo Snacks. Conversing with Mr. Gauraw Pandya, VP of Euro India Foods, was an eye-opener.

The event traversed international boundaries by featuring many brands from countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey. Binari, known for its premium seaweed products had a unique range of gluten-free snacks and salad toppers. Straight from Brazil to the world – Tropicool offers superfruit beverages that are enjoyable and healthy. I highly recommend trying their Açaí berry juice. I also had a chance to taste the famous Moi Soi Thai curry collection and sauces at their pavilion.
