“Worlds greatest mangoes”
“Grown in Pakistan”
[citation needed] I’ll argue South Indian grown mangoes are the tastiest (also I’m South Indian). Given the fruit likely originated there (along with its name).
- jfk13 5y agoNo doubt this is to some extent a question of personal taste. For me, although the Chaunsa mentioned in the article is among the best, nothing beats a beautifully ripe Sindhri mango. I lived in that region for a while, and the all-too-short Sindhri season was one of the highlights of the year.

- bobsil1 5y agoI went to a tasting at Reliance Jamnagar, where they planted mangos (for tax breaks?). Endless varieties plonked on your plate. A flight of mangos. Still an alphonso fan.
- ryzvonusef 5y agoI think freshness plays a part, I ate the non-pak mangoes abroad, and they must have suffered in quality from the export process, while the mangoes I eat here were probably picked (relatively) close by and thus fresher
- lotsofpulp 5y agoKesar mangos from India is my choice. And I have never had any mango grown in the Western Hemisphere anywhere near comparable to an Indian mango. The ones I had in Zimbabwe and Kenya were really good though.
