The 'Gir Kesar' mango, also called Kesar, is a mango cultivar grown in the foothills of Girnar in Gujarat, western India. The mango is known for its bright orange colored pulp and was given the geographical indication status in 2011. The Kesar variety of mango is relished for its unique sweet taste and is cultivated mainly in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The puree processed by Tricom Fruits retains it natural golden saffron glow, its characteristic sweet taste & aroma and is uniformly free flowing. Ripeness & Quality: Kesar are ready to eat when the fruit is tender with an overall softness coming through the thin peel. Avoid fruit with excessively soft patches or bruised or compressed areas. A little wrinkling of the skin is of no concern, and often means the fruit is at peak eating quality.
