Alfanso: Available during mid-July, Alphonso Mangoes are internationally loved for their sunshine yellow appearance and delightful taste. Named after Afonso de Albuquerque, this voluptuous king of the mangoes is one of the most consumed varieties of mangoes in India among mango lovers. Ratnagiri and its neighboring regions in Maharashtra are known to be one of the finest and exclusive hotspots for mango-lovers, widely famous for their Alphonso mangoes.
Kesar: Kesar mangoes owe their name to their saffron appearance and heavenly taste. This variety, highly renowned for their distinct sweet flavour, is considered to be the ‘Queen of Mangoes’. Girnar Hills of Junagadh, Gujarat are famous for their Kesar mangoes. Situated at 320 km from Ahmedabad, these hills are accessible by road and rail network. Available from May to July, Kesar mangoes are sought after as an ingredient for exotic dishes.
Paheri/Pairi: Endorsed by local shopkeepers in Gujarat as pure honey, Pairi Mangoes are usually available early in the mango season during April and July. Although not as sweet as honey, a bite of this mango is very distinct with its noticeable sourness and sweetness altogether.
