Thanks for the list Manjuji. For me Himsagar is the best among commercial ones 😃, tastes and smells so sweet, though it's shelf life is very short making it difficult to export and not available here.😭 Like SB me too don't understand what all the hype about alphonso is about, it tastes a li'l similar to Himsagar but not that good.😉 In our garden at home, we've Amrapali and Mallika. They're equally good but are more scented than Himsagar, tastes and smells heavenly. Used to have a tree of Langra, though not fond of it that much. Good quality Fajli and Chausa are also great.👍🏼

Thank you everyone for participating and Manjuji for all the valuable info.

@ Anshu - In the mango season, I put on a couple of kilos. I love the langda, but because it has poor keeping quality we don't get it here. But that doesn't stop me from eating the other varieties. Here in the UAE we have mangoes all year around - in summer from the northern hemisphere, and in winter from the southern 😛 We get a lot of Safeda, Chausa and Sindoori out here.

@ Souro - Lucky you for having mango trees. As kids we used to go to my grandfather's orchard. They used to grow a hybrid variety called "dharti dhamak" - each mango was at least a kilo in weight, hence the name. The mangos would be cooled in a well (a la Aamir Khan's coke bottles in the Coke ad 😃 ) and we would sit and eat till we got sick.

Alphonso may be good, but for me Langda is the KING 😈

SB - Couple of kilos 😆😆 ... Good you get so many Varieties there, am not sure what we get here - whatever it is doesn't taste like mango. Fruti or Mango pulp sey kaam chal jata hai.

Manjuji - Thanks for detailed info on Mango, I have eaten totapari but name sounds so funny 😆

Topic -

Lagda variety of mango, yes it smells good but the hits you will get a sweet and juice one out of 10 randomly picked is definately lesser then Alphonso 😉
