A mango weighs roughly 150 to 300 grams for most common Indian varieties, and our Alphonso dozens work out to about 150 to 275 grams a fruit. Larger export-type mangoes such as Kent often weigh 400 to 700 grams. Weight varies by grade.
How much a mango weighs depends on the variety first, then the grade and the tree. A small Alphonso and a large Kent are not the same fruit at all. This page gives the usual weights, the dozen weight for Alphonso, and a simple way to work out what you are really buying.
How much does a mango weigh?
There is no single figure for the weight of a mango, because the fruit ranges from a small hand-sized Indian variety to a large export mango that fills a palm. For most mangoes sold in India, 150 to 300 grams is a sensible expectation. In pounds, that is roughly 0.33 to 0.66 lb, or about 5 to 10.5 oz.
| Mango type | Roughly per fruit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Alphonso (Hapus), our dozens | 150 to 275 g | From the dozen weight, by grade |
| Honey (Ataulfo-type) mangoes | 150 to 350 g | Roughly |
| Kent, Keitt, Tommy Atkins | 400 to 700 g, sometimes more | Common in supermarkets abroad |
Treat these as ranges, not promises. Every crop has small and large fruit, and the figures shift a little between seasons. For Kesar and other varieties, look at the weight on the listing instead of guessing. General references also put an Alphonso at about 150 to 300 g.
Alphonso mango weight and grading
Alphonso is known for medium-sized fruit rather than very large fruit, and it is sorted into grades after harvest. A dozen of our Alphonso weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Dividing the dozen weight by twelve gives roughly 150 to 275 g a fruit.
Grade is mostly about size and appearance, and a bigger grade costs more. Our Ratnagiri Alphonso and Devgad Alphonso start from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. Check the product page for the current price and the dozen weight of each grade.
Weight of a dozen mangoes
Alphonso in India is traditionally sold by the dozen, so the dozen weight matters more than the single fruit. For Alphonso from us, a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg, which is about 4 to 7.3 lb. Two dozen would be roughly 3.6 to 6.6 kg.
Keep two things in mind when you compare sellers:
- A "dozen" should mean 12 fruit. Check the fruit count as well as the weight.
- The weight of the box and the weight of the fruit are not the same. Packing adds to the total.
- The peel and seed are part of the weight but not part of what you eat.
Mango crate and box weight
People also search for the weight of a mango crate. There is no standard. A crate or box holds whatever the packer decides, and the net weight of the fruit is lower than the gross weight once the wood, cardboard and packing are counted. Ask any seller for the net fruit weight and the fruit count, so that you can do the same division we show above.
A sensible set of questions for any mango order:
- How many fruit are in the box?
- What is the net weight of the fruit, without packing?
- Which grade is it, and what is the dozen weight of that grade?
- What is the delivered total, after charges?
Why mango weight varies so much
- Variety. Each variety has its own typical size. This is the biggest factor by far.
- Crop load. A tree carrying many fruit tends to give smaller ones, and a light crop can give larger fruit.
- Weather. Rain, heat and the weeks after flowering all affect how the fruit sizes up.
- Position on the tree. Fruit in full light and fruit in shade do not grow identically.
- Time of picking. Fruit that is picked too early stays smaller and lighter than fruit left to mature.
How to check the weight at home
A kitchen scale is enough. Weigh each fruit whole, with skin and seed, and write the numbers down. Add them up and divide by the count to get the average. If you also weigh the peel and seed after eating, you will see the edible share for that fruit. Do this with two or three fruit and you will have a better idea than any general table can give.
How much of a mango weight is edible?
A mango is a stone fruit, so part of the weight is the seed and part is the skin. As a rough guide, the edible flesh is often about two-thirds of the whole fruit, and it varies by variety. Alphonso is sold with a fairly thin seed, so the flesh share is good, but we do not give an exact percentage because it changes with each fruit.
That is why weight alone does not decide value. Compare the price of two sellers after you know the grade, the fruit count and the dozen weight, and not the headline price alone.
Why weight matters when you order
- Gifting. Larger grades look impressive in a gift box.
- Home eating. A smaller grade suits family use.
- Planning. Knowing a dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg tells you how much fruit you are getting for a family or a party.
- Pulp and desserts. If you will blend the fruit, grade matters less, and Alphonso pulp tins may suit you.
