Ratnagiri Kesar Mango

The reason that Alphonso Mango has been the King of Mangoes for decades is obvious, but there is another reason behind the popularity of the Alphonso that grows in Ratnagiri, situated on the western coast of Maharashtra, which is considered to be the best Alphonso produced in the entire world. A unique combination of laterite soil of the place, its proximity to the sea, climate, and expertise of farmers results in a mango that can neither be replicated in any other part of India nor any other part of the world. Ratnagiri Alphonso is a small to medium-sized mango having a smooth and thin skin, which changes color from green to saffron yellow during ripening. Its flesh is of bright golden orange and juicy to the core without any fiber in it. The aroma of the Ratnagiri Alphonso is amazing, and one of these ripened fruits releases such a strong scent that the aroma makes everyone know about the presence of this particular variety of mango in the nearby area.
