Buy Alphonso Mango Online

We source Alphonso mangoes from 48 villages across Ratnagiri and Devgad in Konkan, Maharashtra. Every box is hand-graded, carbide-free, and dispatched by BlueDart air. Below are the two products currently listed on our site.

Ratnagiri vs Devgad: Which Should You Buy?

Buyers often ask us this. The honest answer is that both carry GI No. 139, both come from Konkan, and both ripen on natural hay beds. The differences below are real and grading-verified.

Feature	Ratnagiri Alphonso	Devgad Alphonso
GI Coverage	GI No. 139	GI No. 139
Typical Brix (sweetness)	18 to 24°Bx	23–26°Bx
Flavour profile	Rich, intensely aromatic, golden-yellow skin	Slightly tangy-sweet, fuller body, deeper colour
Fruit weight	150–250 g per fruit	200–300 g per fruit
Season window	Mid-April to early June	Late April to late June
Pulp texture	Non-fibrous, very juicy	Non-fibrous, firm-to-soft
Carbide ripening	Never	Never

If you want the most aromatic box and plan to eat within 2 days of delivery, Ratnagiri is the call. If you want slightly higher Brix and a box that holds a day longer at room temperature, choose Devgad. We source both — founder Prashant Powle personally visits farms in villages like Devgad, Velas, and Rajapur each April to check the first-harvest quality before dispatch begins.

Delivery Across India

We dispatch by BlueDart air freight. Transit time is 1 day to Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad; 2 days to Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata; up to 3 days to the Northeast, Jammu, and remote pin codes. Boxes are packed in ventilated corrugated cartons with newspaper cushioning, which keeps the mangoes from bruising without trapping heat.

We do not dispatch between July and March. Alphonso mango is not a year-round fruit and we will not sell an inferior substitute and call it Alphonso. That is an honest limit worth knowing before you order.

How to Order

1. Step 1 — Select your variety. Choose Ratnagiri Alphonso, Devgad Alphonso, or browse other Konkan produce from our collection page. If you want Pairi mango at ₹2,799, check that product page first — it goes in and out of stock within the season.
2. Step 2 — Add to cart. Pick the quantity that works for your household. The site shows live availability; if a variant is greyed out, it is genuinely sold out and not a placeholder.
3. Step 3 — We dispatch by BlueDart air. Your order leaves our Konkan packing centre and reaches most Indian cities in 1–3 days. You get a tracking link by SMS and email once the box is picked up.

Alphonso Mango in Kannada — Names, Varieties and Origin

In Kannada, Alphonso mango is called ಅಲ್ಫೋನ್ಸೋ ಮಾವು (Alphonso Maavu) or ಹಾಪುಸ್ ಮಾವು (Hapus Maavu). The word "ಮಾವು" (maavu) is the Kannada term for mango. Karnataka buyers — especially in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Dharwad — search for both names, and both land at the same fruit.

The mango grows in the Konkan coastal belt of Maharashtra, specifically across Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts (Devgad taluka). The GI tag covering this region was registered under GI No. 139, with the certificate dated 16 October 2019. No mango grown elsewhere can legally carry the Alphonso GI designation from Ratnagiri or Devgad.

ಅಲ್ಫೋನ್ಸೋ ಮಾವಿನ ಪ್ರಕಾರಗಳು (Types of Alphonso Mango)

Kannada speakers sometimes ask whether Ratnagiri, Devgad and Kesar are the same variety. They are not. Here is how they sit:

• ರತ್ನಗಿರಿ ಅಲ್ಫೋನ್ಸೋ — grown on the Ratnagiri coastline, golden-yellow skin, intensely aromatic, non-fibrous pulp. Widely considered the benchmark for flavour. Exported to the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, and Japan.
• ದೇವಗಡ ಅಲ್ಫೋನ್ಸೋ — grown in Devgad, Sindhudurg. Slightly tangy, fuller weight (up to 300 g), and carbide-free. The skin separates cleanly; you can eat it straight off the peel.
• ಕೇಸರ್ ಮಾವು — grown primarily in Gujarat's Gir region and parts of Maharashtra. Saffron-coloured pulp, medium-sized fruit, oval-oblique shape. Distinct from Alphonso but often sold alongside it during the same season window.

Each fruit weighs between 150 and 300 grams. Alphonso farmers in Konkan call it a "golden crop" — ಬಂಗಾರದ ಬೆಳೆ — because a single well-managed orchard earns more per acre than most other regional produce.

How We Ripen: Hay-Bed Method

The mangoes arrive from our 48-village network still firm — harvested at the correct maturity stage, not at full ripeness. We lay them on beds of dry paddy hay, which is the traditional Konkan method. Hay maintains an even temperature around the fruit and absorbs the ethylene the mangoes release naturally. This produces the even golden colour and the clean, non-fermented sweetness that carbide-ripened fruit cannot match.

Carbide ripening forces colour change from outside in. Hay ripening follows the fruit's own timeline. You can tell the difference the moment you cut the fruit open: natural hay-ripened Alphonso has a uniform saffron-orange interior all the way to the seed; carbide-treated fruit often shows a pale or stringy core even when the skin looks ripe.

We do not use carbide. FSSAI licence 10020022011783 covers our processing facility, and APEDA registration 225579 governs our export-quality grading.

Nutrition in Alphonso Mango

Per 100 g serving of Alphonso mango:

• Calories — 60 kcal (the 202-figure in some older listings reflects a 100 g serving of dried/concentrated form)
• Vitamin C — 36.4 mg, covering 44% of the recommended daily value
• Vitamin A — 765 IU, covering 26% of daily value
• Vitamin B6 — 0.119 mg (5% daily value)
• Calcium — 11 mg (1% daily value)
• Iron — 0.16 mg (1.5% daily value)
• Magnesium — 10 mg (3% daily value)
• Protein — 1.35 g
• Dietary fibre — high enough to support normal digestion and help prevent constipation

The Vitamin C load makes Alphonso genuinely useful for skin health — it drives collagen production and protects cells from oxidative damage. The low fat content means it fits into most calorie-controlled diets without adjustment.

If you have a specific medical condition, ask your doctor before making mango a daily staple. That is standard advice for any fruit consumed in volume.

Storage and Preservation

• If the mangoes arrive firm, leave them at room temperature, loosely wrapped in newspaper. They will ripen in 2–4 days depending on ambient heat. Warmer rooms speed this up.
• Do not refrigerate unripe Alphonso. Cold interrupts the ripening process and produces an uneven, chalky texture inside.
• Once fully ripe, you can move them to the fridge for up to 2 days. Eat within that window for best flavour.
• Cut mango can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Beyond that the aroma deteriorates noticeably.
• For longer preservation, blend ripe Alphonso into Aamras and freeze it in small portions. It holds well for up to 3 months.

Alphonso mango is known across India as "Hapus" — a name that comes from the Portuguese viceroy Afonso de Albuquerque. In Maharashtra it is called Hapus Amba. In Karnataka it goes by ಹಾಪುಸ್ ಮಾವು (Hapus Maavu). The GI-registered origin is Ratnagiri and Devgad in Konkan, Maharashtra, under GI No. 139.

What is mango called in Kannada?

Mango is called ಮಾವು (Maavu) in Kannada. The full fruit name is ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣು (Mavina Hannu). Alphonso mango specifically is called ಅಲ್ಫೋನ್ಸೋ ಮಾವು or ಹಾಪುಸ್ ಮಾವು.

Which is the sweetest mango in Karnataka?

Alphonso from Ratnagiri and Devgad in Konkan, Maharashtra, consistently ranks as the sweetest mango available to Karnataka buyers, reaching 18 to 24 degrees Brix depending on origin.
