Hapus or Kesar: which mango should an Ahmedabad home choose?

Most people who search for mangoes in Ahmedabad have two fruits in mind. One is Kesar keri, the saffron-coloured mango that Gujarat grows around Gir and Junagadh. The other is Hapus, the Konkan Alphonso that many Gujarati families buy by the dozen every summer. They are different fruits, and one is not a copy of the other.

Kesar is said to have been grown in 1931 by the Junagadh Wazir Sale Bhai, and is said to have been known as Kesar since 1934, when the Nawab of Junagadh remarked on its orange pulp. Alphonso comes from the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. We source it from 48 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt, so the fruit travels from the Konkan to Ahmedabad rather than from a Gujarat orchard.

Hapus keri in Gujarati: the words people search for

In Gujarati, Alphonso is written હાફૂસ કેરી and is also spelt હાપુસ કેરી. Kesar is કેસર કેરી, and aam ras is કેરીનો રસ. In Hindi and Marathi the same fruit is Hapus aam and Hapus amba. We use all these spellings because buyers type them into search, and because the fruit is the same whichever way you write it.

The name Alphonso itself comes from Afonso de Albuquerque, and the variety is described as non-fibrous with a rich, creamy pulp. That description is why the fruit works so well in aam ras: there are no strings to strain out.

Delivery to Ahmedabad

We dispatch by Blue Dart. About 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery, and the rest take longer. We cannot promise a delivery day for Ahmedabad as a city, because the PIN code decides it. Enter your Ahmedabad PIN code at checkout and the page will tell you what is possible for your address.

Choose an address where someone can receive the box. A ripe mango should not sit in a closed office or a locked flat.
Open the box on the day it arrives and keep the fruit in a single layer at room temperature.
Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery by writing to support@alphonsomango.in.

GST: there is no GST on fresh mangoes, and your invoice shows this.

Alphonso and Kesar price in Ahmedabad, and what a dozen weighs

People ask for the mango price in Ahmedabad in kilos, but we sell by the dozen or by the box. Alphonso from the Ratnagiri or Devgad belt starts from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and the largest Ratnagiri option goes up to Rs 5,399. Kesar starts from Rs 999 per box. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, which is why a single per-kilo number would mislead you. Check the product page for the price of the grade you want.

To compare us with a local shop or another website, compare like with like:

Fruit weight per piece and the number of pieces in the box.
The variety and the place it was grown, in writing.
How the fruit was ripened.
Whether the seller can show a GI certificate number for Alphonso and an FSSAI licence.

How we ripen the fruit and what to ask any seller

We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Selling fruit ripened with calcium carbide gas is prohibited in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011, so this is a question you can put to any seller in any city.

Our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, and harvest is done at Brahma Muhurta, before dawn. For Alphonso we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139). Our details are on the AlphonsoMango.in brand facts. Kesar is a separate fruit and carries no GI claim from us.

Season and off-season options

Alphonso is harvested from about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Outside that window we do not sell fresh Alphonso, and fresh-fruit listings show as unavailable. If a website offers fresh Konkan Alphonso in the wrong months, ask where it came from.

What you can order all year is our Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin, in 850 g and 3.1 kg tins, from Rs 590. For a family that wants aam ras at Diwali or a winter wedding, the tin is the practical answer. APEDA notes that mango pulp is sterilised and packed in aseptic bags or hermetically sealed cans.

Aam ras, the Gujarati way

Gujarati homes often serve aam ras with hot rotli or puri, with a pinch of dry ginger or cardamom, and sometimes with a little milk. Keep it simple: ripe fruit, blended smooth, chilled. If you want the method with measurements, we have a full aamras recipe with Alphonso mangoes. Mango sheera, milkshake and lassi work the same way with pulp.

Gifting from or to Ahmedabad
