The Dasheri mango is a mango cultivar which originated in an Indian village near Kakori in Lucknow district in 18th century. It is a sweet and fragrant variety of mango grown in North India, the southern state Andhra Pradesh, Nepal and Pakistan. Malihabad in Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer.
Dasheri mangoes are small to medium-sized fruits, averaging 9 to 15 centimetres in length, and have an elongated, straight oval shape with blunt, curved ends. The skin is semi-thick, smooth, leathery, and subtly waxy, ranging in color from light green to yellow-green, transforming into a golden yellow hue when ripe. Underneath the surface, the orange flesh is tender, succulent, and almost entirely fibreless, encasing a moderately-sized stone. Dasheri mangoes are highly aromatic and bear a tropical, nectar-like scent. The fruit’s flesh is very sweet and contains tropical, fruity, and mildly tangy nuances.
