4 to 6 pieces Langra Mango (1.4 to 1.6 kg)

The Langra Mango brings one of India's most storied cultivars straight to your kitchen - a variety first grown in Banaras over 250 years ago and still prized across the subcontinent for its distinctive character. Unlike mangoes that turn deep orange when ripe, the Langra keeps its green-tinged skin even at peak maturity, hiding soft saffron-yellow flesh beneath.

• Heritage cultivar from Banaras (Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh
• Stays greenish-skinned even when fully ripe
• Fibreless, smooth flesh with an intense aroma
• Sweet-tart flavour with a hint of turpentine spice

The Langra is famous for its balance: pronounced sweetness cut by a gentle tartness, wrapped in a perfume that fills the room the moment you slice it open. Its flesh is exceptionally smooth and free of fibres, making it a favourite for eating fresh as well as for cooking.

Culinary Application

Enjoy the Langra chilled and sliced on its own, or blend it into lassi, shakes and kulfi. Its firm, fibreless flesh also holds up beautifully in chutneys, aamras and Indian desserts, where its aroma really comes through.
