Online mango shopping: start with the use, not the variety
Most people shop for a mango by name. It is easier to shop by what you plan to do with the fruit, because the answer narrows the choice quickly. We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and these are the uses our customers ask about most.
| If you want | Consider | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Slices to eat and share | GI-tagged Ratnagiri Alphonso or Devgad Alphonso boxes | From Rs 1,849 per dozen |
| Aamras, shakes, lassi | Gir Kesar mango | Half-dozen Rs 999, dozen Rs 1,699 |
| A different flavour to try | Pairi Mango | From Rs 2,799 per dozen |
| Mango all year | Alphonso Mango Pulp Tin | 850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590 |
| A larger or smaller fruit | The grade options on each product page | Larger grades cost more |
Prices change with grade and size, so check the product page for the current price. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. The whole range is in the mango collection.
Alphonso: the fruit most shoppers come for
Alphonso is called Hapus in Maharashtra. We source it across 55 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Ratnagiri is a district and Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district; the variety is the same, and we do not rank one above the other. Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139, and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).
Alphonso takes its name from Afonso de Albuquerque. The fruit generally weighs 150 to 300 g, and the pulp is rich, creamy and non-fibrous. Our guide to what Alphonso mango is tells the story in more detail, and the Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus guide covers the two origin names.
Kesar: a second mango worth adding to the basket
Kesar comes from Gujarat. Wikipedia records that it is said to have been grown in 1931 by the Junagadh wazir Sale Bhai, and to have been known as Kesar since 1934, when the Nawab of Junagadh remarked on its orange pulp. Its market window is generally April and May. It is a good choice for aamras, and at half-dozen Rs 999 it is a lower-cost way to try a second variety.
The GI claim we make applies only to Alphonso; we do not make it for Kesar or any other product. For a deeper look, see the guide to Gir Kesar mango online.
Pairi and the other mangoes on the shelf
Pairi Mango is the variety people mention when they want something other than Alphonso or Kesar. It is sold by the dozen from Rs 2,799, with its own product page and its own stock. We also list Dasheri Mango, Totapuri Mango, Salem Mango and Malgova Mango. Not every variety is available at the same time, and each page shows whether it is in stock.
If you are trying a new variety, order a small quantity first. Mango preference is personal, and a half-dozen tells you more than a long description can. Our guide to Indian mango varieties lists the wider field.
How the fruit is ripened and how to handle it
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. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller. Our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net.
Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so a box may include some firm fruit. Lay it in a single layer at room temperature, check daily, and eat each mango when it smells sweet at the stalk and gives slightly at the shoulder. Do not refrigerate firm fruit. If the whole box ripens together, make aamras and freeze it in small portions. The bucket-of-water test is a rough clue, not proof, and no home test proves how a mango was ripened.
Our guide on mango fruit online shopping in India covers the shopping side, and ripening at home the handling side.
Building your basket: quantities and add-ons
- Small household (one or two people): a dozen of a smaller grade lasts about a week if eaten as it ripens; share the rest.
- Family of four or five: one dozen for slicing plus a half-dozen of Kesar for aamras is a common mix.
- Gifts: larger grades look better in the box. See the gifting page for options.
- Off-season cravings: add a pulp tin, which keeps for use all year.
- Dry fruits: cashews and other nuts can go in the same cart, for example W180 Cashew Nuts. Check the product page for the current price.
Whatever you choose, write down the date the box arrives, so you can count the days to ripeness and plan when to eat, freeze or share the fruit.
Nutrition is a common question. Per 100 g, raw mango provides about 36 mg of vitamin C, roughly 40% of the Daily Value, and about 43 micrograms of folate. These are generic mango figures, not Alphonso-specific ones. Mango also contains natural sugar; see our mango nutrition facts for the full table.
Season, delivery and support
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season; fresh mango pages show as unavailable until stock arrives, while pulp tins and dry fruits are available all year.

People also ask
Which mango should I buy when shopping online?
It depends on the use. Alphonso, from Rs 1,849 per dozen, suits slicing and gifting. Kesar, half-dozen Rs 999 and dozen Rs 1,699, suits aamras and shakes. Pairi starts from Rs 2,799 per dozen. Check the product page for the current price and grade options before ordering.
Can I shop for Kesar and Alphonso together?
Yes. Both are on AlphonsoMango.in and can go in one cart, and the PIN code message at checkout applies to the whole order. Alphonso is harvested about February to June, while Kesar generally reaches the market in April and May, so availability can differ. Each product page shows its own stock.
How much mango should I order for a family?
A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. A family of four or five often orders one dozen to slice, and adds a half-dozen of Kesar for aamras. Smaller households can share a dozen or choose a smaller grade. Ripe mangoes soften fast, so avoid over-ordering.
Is online mango shopping safe for ripe fruit?
Fruit travels best when it is firm, which is why Alphonso takes about 15 days from harvest to ripen and some mangoes arrive firm. Lay them out at room temperature and eat them as they soften. We dispatch by Blue Dart, and you should report any damage within 24 hours of delivery.
