Kesar Mangoes
Nicknamed the "Queen of Mangoes," the Indian Kesar mango is beloved for its sweet, rich, and aromatic flavor profile. Its vibrant saffron-colored pulp offers a creamy texture that melts in your mouth, leaving behind hints of honey and a subtle floral note.
These mangoes are highly sought after for their unique taste and versatility in desserts, drinks, and traditional Indian recipes.
Appearance:
When ripe, Kesar mangoes display a warm golden-yellow skin, occasionally with a blush of red on the shoulders. Inside, the flesh is a deep saffron-orange, smooth, and nearly fibreless, making it ideal for fresh eating or culinary creations. Kesar mangoes are medium-sized, typically weighing around 200–250 grams each, with a plump, rounded shape.
Origin:
The Kesar mango hails from the Girnar Hills in Gujarat, India. This region provides the perfect growing conditions—sun-drenched days, cool nights, and fertile soil, giving the mango its unmatched sweetness and vibrant color.
The Kesar variety was named for its resemblance to saffron ("Kesar" in Hindi), a prized Indian spice, and has been cultivated in Gujarat for over a century.
Taste Profile:
Kesar mangoes are renowned for their luxurious sweetness, balanced by a tangy undertone. Their aromatic flesh delivers a rich, honeyed flavor with hints of floral and saffron notes, making them an indulgent treat.
Seasonal Availability:
Kesar mangoes are available during the peak mango season, from May to July. They are carefully harvested at just the right time to ensure maximum sweetness and freshness.
Packaging & Size Details:
Each box contains 12 fresh Kesar mangoes, meticulously inspected externally for quality before shipping.
Sizes may vary slightly, as this is a natural product, but most mangoes weigh between 200–250 grams.
Storage Instructions:
Kesar mangoes are shipped just before they reach peak ripeness and should be ripened at room temperature. Place them in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight to allow them to mature naturally.
To speed up ripening, place the mangoes in a paper bag along with an apple or banana. These fruits release ethylene gas, which accelerates the process.

I found the Kesar mango I bought to be delicious, but it was a bit overpriced compared to other types of mango
Order was slightly delayed (one day late) but the team kept me up to date. My first time trying Indian mangoes - I'm hooked! Sweet and delicious.
