What is in a box of mangoes from us
We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. Our box of mangoes is sold by the dozen, not by the kilo. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, because the fruit is graded by size and a box of larger fruit weighs more than a box of small fruit at the same count.
The fruit is Alphonso, called Hapus in Maharashtra, from across 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g, and the pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. We also sell boxes of Kesar and Pairi by the dozen, so not every mango box on our site is Alphonso; read the product name before you order.
We have sold mangoes since 2019 and online since 2020, and have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales. Everything we list is on the mango collection.
Choosing a box: Ratnagiri or Devgad, small or large
Ratnagiri is a district and Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district; both are on the Konkan coast and both grow the same Alphonso variety under GI No. 139. We do not rank one above the other, and we do not claim that one is sweeter or harvested earlier. Choose by the name you trust and the size on offer.
| Your need | What to pick |
|---|---|
| Daily eating, aamras | A dozen of smaller fruit; lower price, same variety. |
| Gifting | A dozen of larger fruit; the box looks fuller and each mango is bigger. |
| First time buying Alphonso | Either Ratnagiri Alphonso or Devgad Alphonso dozen boxes; they are the same variety. |
| A large family or office | Several dozen boxes; write to us with the quantity and date. |
| Out of season | Alphonso pulp tins, 850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590. |
We do not state a fixed number of dozens for a traditional wooden peti, because sizes vary; our boxes are simply one dozen each. Prices start from Rs 1,849 per dozen for Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso and rise with grade; the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. Check the product page for today's price. Our page on how many Alphonso mangoes come in a box answers the count question in detail.
How the fruit in the box is ripened
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011; ethylene up to 100 ppm is the permitted alternative. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller, and our certificate numbers are on the AlphonsoMango.in brand facts.
Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, and the fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net. A box can arrive with a mix of ripe and firm fruit. That is deliberate: it gives you several days of eating rather than twelve mangoes that must be finished at once.
- On arrival: open the box, take the fruit out and lay it in a single layer at room temperature, away from direct sun.
- Check daily: a sweet smell at the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean the mango is ready.
- Fridge: only once ripe, and only briefly. Cold slows ripening of firm fruit and dulls the aroma.
Our guide on ripening Alphonso at home covers the method step by step, and when a mango is ripe shows the signs.

A box of mangoes as a gift
A dozen Alphonso is a common gift in Maharashtra during the season, and it travels well as a courier parcel. We supply individuals, and we also supply restaurants, hotels and companies in general terms; write to us with the quantity, the cities and the dates and we will reply with what we can do.
For gifting pages see our gifting page, the gift order form, and the corporate gift guide. If you are sending boxes to several addresses, list each address and PIN code separately so each parcel can be checked at checkout.
The GI point matters for a gift too. Alphonso from the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt is GI-tagged in India (GI No. 139), and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). Our GI tag guide explains what that covers.
Season and what to do outside it
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. We do not sell fresh Alphonso outside the season, and we do not store it. Alphonso pulp tins are available all year and suit aamras, milkshakes and kulfi; our aamras recipe is a simple place to start.
On nutrition, 100 g of raw mango provides about 36 mg of vitamin C, roughly 40% of the Daily Value. Mango carries natural sugars, so if you manage a health condition ask your doctor or dietitian how much suits you. Our season guide lists the months, and why Alphonso costs what it does explains the pricing.
People also ask
How much is a box of mangoes?
Our box of Alphonso holds a dozen and starts from Rs 1,849 for Ratnagiri or Devgad fruit, rising with grade to Rs 5,399 for the largest Ratnagiri option. Kesar starts from Rs 999 per box and Pairi from Rs 2,799 per dozen. Check the product page for today's price.
How many mangoes are in a box?
Our standard box holds a dozen mangoes. Because fruit is graded by size, a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Some sellers pack by weight instead of count, so compare the number of fruit and the stated weight range, not just the price of the box.
Why should mangoes not be refrigerated?
Cold slows the ripening of firm mangoes and dulls the aroma, so unripe fruit should stay at room temperature. Once a mango is ripe, a short spell in the fridge is fine and cut fruit keeps best in a closed container. Take the fruit out of the box and lay it in one layer.
What are the sweetest mangoes?
Sweetness depends on variety, ripeness and season rather than on one place. Alphonso from the Konkan coast is widely regarded as among the sweetest Indian varieties, and its pulp is non-fibrous. Kesar and Pairi are also sweet. Brix readings on our Brand Facts page give a measured range.
