Dasheri Mango

Dasheri mango is one of the oldest and most treasured varieties of North India, with its origins traced to a single tree in Dasheri village near Kakori, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, making it a variety of legendary cultural significance. The Dasheri mango has an elongated shape with smooth green-yellow skin that takes on a golden hue when fully ripe. Its flesh is exceptionally smooth, fibreless, and saffron-yellow in colour with a characteristic floral sweetness and aromatic fragrance that distinguishes it from all other varieties. The flavour is complex — sweet with faint floral and citrus undertones — making each bite a truly distinctive experience. Lucknow and Malihabad are the primary growing regions, where farmers have preserved traditional cultivation practices for generations. Dasheri mangoes are best enjoyed fresh at room temperature, sliced and scooped or sucked directly from the skin in the traditional way. They are also used in sherbets, kulfi, and mango milk. Ripen at room temperature for 3–5 days. Do not refrigerate until fully ripe. Origin: Malihabad, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
