Types Of Mangoes To Relish During Summer
Ah, summer! In other words, get ready to explore different types of mangoes that make summer sweeter! That golden time of the year when the sun shines a little brighter and mangoes take center stage on every plate. Whether you like them sliced, juiced, pickled, or straight off the seed, there’s a mango for every kind of craving.
Different Types Of Mangoes
Let’s take a juicy dive into the top mango varieties you must relish this summer (and maybe even hoard a few in the fridge). Scroll down to explore the delicious mango varieties you can indulge in this summer.
Alphonso (Hapus) – The King of Mangoes
Smooth, aromatic, and rich in flavor, Alphonso is everyone’s summer crush. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and vibrant saffron hue make it perfect for desserts, milkshakes, or just enjoying as-is.
Pro tip: Try it with a drizzle of cream or in aamras, pure heaven!
Kesar – The Saffron Sweetheart
Hailing from Gujarat, Kesar lives up to its name with its deep orange flesh and naturally sweet flavor. Slightly tangy with a floral fragrance, this one’s perfect for smoothies, yogurt bowls, or summer sorbets.

Dasheri – The Desi Classic
With its long, greenish-yellow look and ultra-sweet flesh, Dasheri is the OG mango in many Indian homes. Easy to peel and eat, it’s great for snacking or sneaking into lunchboxes.
Langra – The Zesty Underdog
Don’t let the name fool you, Langra packs a punch! With its unique flavor and intense aroma, it’s slightly fibrous but oh-so-refreshing. If you’re into bold, citrusy mangoes, this one’s your jam.
Banganapalli – South India’s Juicy Gem
Known for its large size and subtle sweetness, Banganapalli (or Benishan) is firm yet juicy. It’s a versatile mango that works well in drinks, salads, or just chilled straight from the fridge.
Totapuri – The Tangy One
Shaped like a parrot’s beak (hence the name), Totapuri is slightly tart and less sweet, ideal for pickles, chutneys, and mango panna. If you like a tangy twist, this one’s a summer essential.
Pairi – The Short-Season Sweetie
Available only for a brief window in early summer, Pairi has a softer texture and intense sweetness. Blink and you’ll miss it, so stock up when it shows up!
Bonus Tip: Mango Mashups
- Mix Alphonso with yogurt for a luscious mango lassi
- Freeze Kesar puree for instant mango popsicles
- Aamras hits different when it’s made with Dasheri
- Toss Totapuri slices into spicy salads for that desi zing
