Why are Indian mangoes so special?
Indian mangoes, especially the famous Alphonso, are known for being incredibly sweet,
super aromatic, and simply irresistible. Thanks to the unique combination of climate and soil,
they ripen perfectly and develop their characteristic flavor and fragrance.
What’s the difference between Alphonso and Kesar mangoes?
Alphonso: Often called the “king of mangoes” because of its creamy flesh and intense fragrance.
Kesar: Saffron-yellow flesh, sweet with a hint of spice, and an unmistakable aroma.
How do I know if a mango is ripe?
Gently press the mango: Does it feel a little soft? Does it have a sweet, fruity smell near the stem?
That’s a good sign it’s ripe! Alphonso mangoes often turn from green to yellow, but color alone isn’t always reliable.
Trust your nose and the slight give when you press it.
How should I store fresh Indian mangoes?
Keep unripe mangoes at room temperature until they soften up.
Once they’re ripe, you can pop them in the fridge to extend their freshness.
But take them out before eating — they taste best at room temperature!
What sets Indian and Pakistani mangoes apart?
Indian varieties (like Alphonso, Kesar, Badami) often have a creamy texture,
a wonderful balance of sweetness and flavor, and an amazing aroma.
Pakistani mangoes (like Chaunsa, Sindhri) are super sweet,
extra juicy, and generally have a higher sugar content.
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either—just go with whatever you’re craving!
How can I use fresh mangoes in the kitchen?
Plain & Simple: Slice them up and enjoy — so refreshing!
Smoothies & Shakes: Great for creamy drinks, especially Alphonso and Kesar.
Desserts: Think ice cream, sorbet, cakes, or puddings — mango is always a hit.
Savory Dishes: Add them to chutneys, salsas, or curries for an exotic twist.
Can I freeze mangoes?
Absolutely! Just cut them into chunks, pop them in a freezer bag or container,
and into the freezer they go. Frozen mango pieces are perfect for smoothies and desserts.
Keep in mind the texture and taste might change slightly once thawed.
How long do fresh Indian mangoes last?
You’ll want to eat ripe mangoes within two or three days because they spoil pretty quickly.
Unripe mangoes can last a few days longer until they soften up.
It’s always good to gently press them and take a quick sniff to check their ripeness.
When is mango season in India?
In India, the mango season usually runs from March through June,
though exact timings can vary by region and variety.
That’s when you’ll find the freshest, most flavorful mangoes.
Popular types like Alphonso and Kesar make their grand appearance during these months!
