Taste profile

Indian mango associated with Gujarat; the Gir Somnath harvest reference applies to that region.

Kesar

Kesar is an Indian mango associated with Gujarat. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University lists it among Gujarat's leading varieties; Gir Somnath district describes its local Gir Kesar production.

Ripeness and aroma

The National Mango Board describes sweet, fibre-free flesh and skin ranging from green to yellow. The Gir Somnath profile describes saffron-coloured flesh; TNAU notes that the shoulders can carry a red blush. Colour alone does not identify a cultivar, and a market photograph does not establish where the fruit was grown.

Gir Somnath, Gujarat, India harvest reference

Mid-April to early June; peak in May ↗

This is the district's reference for local Gir Kesar production, not a South Florida calendar or a harvest guarantee for every Kesar tree.
