Kesar Mangoes

KeSar mango, often referred to as the “Queen of Mangoes,” is a premium variety known for its vibrant saffron-colored pulp, intense sweetness, and delightful fragrance. Although originally from Gujarat, India, the Kesar mango is also cultivated in selected regions of Pakistan, where the climate and soil enhance its unique characteristics. It has a slightly oval shape with a golden-yellow skin that may have a blush of red. What truly sets the Kesar mango apart is its rich, smooth flesh, which is almost completely fiberless, making it ideal for both fresh consumption and culinary uses like mango pulp, desserts, smoothies, and traditional sweets. The name “Kesar” (which means saffron) reflects both its hue and royal taste profile. It ripens slightly later in the season compared to varieties like Sindhri or Anwar Ratol, usually appearing around mid-June. Kesar mangoes are prized for their long shelf life, natural sweetness, and intense aroma that fills the room when ripe. Loved by mango connoisseurs for its consistent quality and balanced flavor, the Kesar mango is a luxurious tropical delight that reflects the rich fruit heritage of the subcontinent.
