They do this through a behavior called alternate bearing. So the fruit yield will be low. Mangoes take months to go from flowers to harvest-ready fruits.
Our partner farms harvest these fruits individually, cutting the cm long pedicle stem and collecting them in baskets. Sometimes, hydraulic platforms are used to reach tall trees. This sap is acidic and can damage the skin of the fruit. In about 45 minutes, the sap drips out completely and the mangoes can be sent for ripening.
All our mangoes are safely ripened without the use of harmful chemicals like carbides, thus preserving their taste, aroma, juices and nutrition. This behaviour is seen at an orchard level and happens irrespective of the weather and growing conditions. Shop these early varieties right now on bigbasket. Notify On Stock Availability.

Vitamin A supports many systems in the body, including daily replacement of skin cells, maintaining healthy tissue in the eyes, and providing a barrier to infection through mucous production.
There are two types of vitamin A — retinol animal sources and carotenoids plant sources. Retinol is an active form of vitamin A, which is how the body uses it. Egg yolks, liver, and fish liver are all good sources of retinol. Carotenoids like beta carotene are what give fruits their color and contain antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are believed to contribute to certain chronic diseases. For some excellent, in-depth info about vitamin A, I highly recommend this article. Sad but true, some mango cultivars are less nutritious than others.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the most common commercially distributed cultivar — the Tommy Atkins. Tommy Atkins mangoes contain only a fifth of the beta-carotene of Ataulfos, and the lowest levels of vitamin C of the varieties tested. The lesson - if you're looking for the very best fruit source of beta carotene, pick up a cantaloupe.
Tommy Atkins mangoes are the most commercially distributed mangoes for a reason. They are tough and resilient, making them tolerant to shipping and handling without bruising. But by the s, it finally became popular with commercial growers and went on to become the most extensively planted mango in North and South America. The Tommy Atkins mango is less sweet and more fibrous. One medium mango grams edible portion contains calories and 46 grams of sugar.

Tim Elliott from Red Rich Fruits says timing of fertilisers is also influenced by moon cycles, atmospheric pressure and temperature fluxes, which can make a difference between flowering or flushing into leaf.
A tree must have enough energy to flower, hold the flowers and carry them through to full, quality fruit. Surprisingly, Elliott says, some trees produce prolifically in rocky regions. Unable to send their roots out, growers have more control over timing of nutrient delivery with fertilisers, and thus flowering.
Or three -- and this is the most common use for mangoes -- use them as an accent ingredient or flavor in a dish that features another ingredient.
Mango salsa is a bright, slightly acidic companion to a simple piece of fish or a plate of pan-seared shrimp and mango chutney can bring out the flavor of a pork or beef sandwich. Search any recipe database and you'll find dozens of recipes for both. I've included the link. Finally, once you've made a mango salsa, what should you do with it? I suppose a bag of corn chips might be enough, but I would serve it with tilapia, a healthy and inexpensive white fish.
Serve the fish with a green vegetable, such as steamed broccolini, plus rice or a grain like quinoa, adding a large spoonful of the mango salsa on the side.
