Chaunsa
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This mango was originally cultivated in Rahim Yar Khan and Multan, but legend has it that it was given its current name by Sher Shah Suri after he defeated the Mughal Emperor Humayun at Chausa, a district in Bihar, India. This mango was the favourite of the founder of the Suri Empire.
Chaunsa is also one of the most loved types of mangoes across the world because it is exceptionally sweet and juicy. You can simply soften the flesh from the outside by pushing the skin inwards with your thumbs before removing the mango’s eye that connects it to the stem to drink the delicious juice. It doesn’t get any fresher than this!
The deliciously soft mango has a wonderful fragrance, minimum fibre, and a thick stone in the middle with light yellow flesh. Its ripening season is June to August, and it keeps on delighting taste buds in Pakistan and across the world until late September when no other mango varieties are available.
Chaunsa mango has four types; Summer Chaunsa which arrives in the markets in early July, Black Chaunsa is sweet and has higher fibre content and comes after mid-July, White Chaunsa aka Nawab Puri has a mild taste, longer shelf life and is exported and lastly Azeem Chaunsa which has the longest shelf life and is smaller in size.
