Get ready for a mango adventure! Forget the boring ones in the supermarket; India's mangoes are rockstars with unique tastes and a long history. We're going on a vacation to try ten of the most famous ones.
1. Alphonso (Hapus), the king of the group! Alphonsos are extremely delicious, have a wonderful aroma, and have vivid yellow skin. They originate in Maharashtra and are a must-try summer delight.2 Kesar:These beauties are from Gujarat and are named after the spice saffron because of their yellowish color and delicious aroma. Kesar mangoes are noted for their creamy interiors, which nearly melt in your tongue.
3. Dasheri: This luscious mango is popular in northern India. Dasheris are recognized for having no strings within, a highly sweet taste with a hint of sourness, and a delectable aroma.
4. Totapuri: This mango has a chameleon-like quality! You may eat it ripe when it's sweet or pick it green to make spicy chutneys and pickles.
5. Langra: Langra mangoes, which are shaped like a heart, are popular with many people. They feature a vivid green exterior, juicy orange meat, and a flavor that is both sweet and somewhat tart - just suitable for your taste buds!
6. Chusa: These large, oblong mangoes are popular in northern India. Chausas have a thick golden exterior, juicy insides, and a sweet, somewhat tangy flavor.
7. Pairi: This mango pairs nicely with Safeda mangoes. It has no strings within, bright yellow skin with a scarlet flush, and a delicious, faintly fragrant aroma.
8. Neelam: Forget dull hues; Neelam mangoes have gorgeous purple skin! They're noted for their sweet and creamy interiors, as well as a faint floral aroma.
9. Himsagar This seasonal treasure is popular in West Bengal. Himsagar mangoes are extremely delicious, with beautiful yellow skin and a crimson blush, and few threads within.
10. Safeda/Banganapalli: Safedas, the first mangos of the season, are massive and golden yellow. They have juicy insides with no strings and are ideal for producing cool beverages and tasty sweets.
This is only a taste (pun intended!) of the tremendous mango diversity that India has to offer. So, the next time you see Indian mangoes, grab one (or 10) and prepare for a taste explosion! You'll never regret it!
