In the Summers, amidst the scorching heat of the Sun and the hot dry winds, there is something that makes us not want to completely hate the harshness of this season and that is the arrival of our favourite fruit, Mango.
Apart from Bollywood, cricket, and politics, one thing that unites all the Indians is the love for the Mangoes. As it is always highlighted that India has an advantage over a lot of things following its geography, our topography enables us to enjoy mangoes with different flavours as they are cultivated in different areas, under different climates.
Among the melange of mangoes that includes Dussehri, Sinduri, Gujarati, Langra, Badami, Safeda and Chaunsa, whose availability may vary, there is one species that is a rare find.
Yes, we are talking about Alphonso Mangoes. This variety of mangoes grace us with their presence for barely a month each year and by bestowing their sweet flavour on us, they leave us wanting for more every time.
Mango is one fruit that is everyone's favourite. In one way or the other, we all enjoy their taste. Since it is loved by all, it would be a perfect summertime gift.
Here are some points that will convince you to send a box of Alphonso Mangoes straight away.
