Alphonso Mango, commonly known as Hapus, is often touted to be the king of fruits. This majestic fruit is by far the most sought after variety of Indian Mangoes. Alphonso Mango is very fragrant and sweet and the flesh is fibreless. The first flowering of Alphonso mangoes generally happens in early February when the climate is just right for the flowering to begin. 

Alphonso mango is extremely temperamental and very sensitive to the changes to the weather. Alphonso mango is also a very delicate fruit and have genetic issue related to it, namely Spongy tissue.

Alphonso mango is predominantly grown along the Konkan belt of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat. At Mangowala we only focus on this region to source our mangoes, ensuring that we only get premium export grade fruits. Mangoes will be ready/almost ready to eat and can last for about 3-4 days from the date they are made available for pick up. Once fully ripen they can be stored in a fridge to prolong the shelf life.

Important information about Alphonso mango:

• Extremely temperamental
• Very sensitive to the changes to the weather.
• Very delicate fruit to handle
• It has genetic issue related to it, namely Spongy tissue. Spongy tissue is the part of the fruits flesh which doesn’t get ripen up. Although a lot of research has been done in identifying spongy tissue early, yet there is no definite solution of identifying it. We do as much as testing as possible before importing the fruit but it is not always possible to stop this from happening. Thus Alphonso is sold “AS IS”.
• Even with all these issues and risk, it is one the most selling varieties every year.

There can be a large variation in the weight of the fruit depending upon many factors such as the rate of ripening, the nature of the fruit etc. Please note that mango can lose weight daily at the rate of 2 to 5 percent.
