Kesar Mango Puree

Kutch is one of the largest deserts in India, in the state of Gujarat bordering Pakistan. An earthquake in this area in the year 2002, on January 26th, the Republic day of India, devastated the entire township of Bhuj, the main town. Rainfall in this area is barely 5cm in a year, with a large area under marshy uncultivated land in the bay of Arabian Sea. Due to a high content of calciferous rocks in this area, the fruit develops a unique taste and sweetness, due to high calcium absorption. Our main source of Kesar mangoes is from this region.

Kesar Mangoes has a unique brilliant colour of Saffron (the name Kesar is the Hindi meaning of Saffron)  It is naturally sweet and brix can be 18-20 degree.  It is lighter, compared to other thicker purees from India like Totapuri & Alphonso. The flavour is better to Totapuri &  slightly lower to Alphonso, but has a unique sweet aroma. Kesar puree is ideal when used on its own, in juices, nectars, baby food etc., rather than used as a blend. Price wise it is comparable with puree from other parts of the world, but much lower to the expensive alphonso (characteristics are about 90% of that of the Alphonso). Fruits are elongated & the colour of the fruit is green turning yellow to red sometimes on ripening.
