Why are Indian mangoes in high demand among Americans?

Boxes of Indian mangoes priced up to $60 are often sold out before they even arrive in US, reflecting tight supply and seasonal demand. Indian mango varieties, Alphonso, Kesar, Langra, and Banganapalli, are in demand for their intense sweetness, rich flavour and aromatic profile. Americans are dismissing Mexican mangoes, which once dominated US grocery stores, as tasting like "raw potato".
