Types of mangoes in india

As Summer is here, everyone used to frustrated and exhausted due to raised temperature in this season ,but there is one of the best part of this season that is “Mangoes” . Mangoes have always been the one thing that makes everyone happy during Delhi summers. Mango shake stalls are up and running , as are the usual season special ice creams and mock tails. But this summer due to the fallout between the European Union and the exporters of Indian mangoes, the city has suddenly received an unexpected supply of mangoes In the last few days, overall price per kilo has plummeted which has given restaurant owners a reason to add mangoes to their menu in any and every way. Yesterday I myself went market to purchase some mangoes ,but i don’t have that good knowledge of all variety of mango ,usually my dad used to purchase it .

I asked one of the vendor of Mangoes which is the most popular variety of  best selling mangoes now days ,He said “Start with the relatively less sweet safeda or surkhi mangoes from south india. Shop for dussehri mango that arrives from UP by May end and feast on Langra and Chausa from June to August. He also said that this is the best time to stock up on raw mangoes for sauces, pickels and chutney ,he said “Even in May or June when ripe mangoes start arriving from Uttar pradesh, langda is by far superior to the Alphonso variety, which sells only for it looks,” he says. He also tells people to experiment with different varieties and even try Malda mangoes from Bengal, totapuri from Bihar and Sindoori or Raspuri from kerala for purees, shakes and ice- creams. I found all this information very useful for all mangoes lovers so i thought to share this information in my blog. So here I’m sharing some of the varieties of mangoes .
