A Day with The Mango Masters of London who sell Indian King Alphonso & Kesar Mangos + Exotic Fruits

✓ It's about that time of the year again and we were shopping around for the "King of Fruits" in the "Desi" part of London (Kenton and Kingsbury) and came across these Mango Masters'.

The sublime Indian Alphonso and Kesar Mangoes are the "King of Mangoes" - they have a very short shelf life once they are ripe (so have to be exported whilst unripe). They are also some of the worlds most expensive and sought after kinds of mango and are grown mainly in Western India.

Look out for the chap who buys 20 boxes (well over 200 pieces) because he knows the season is coming to an end

Highly prized are the variety of Alphonso (A.K.A. Hapoos हापूस) ) from the Ratnagiri region of India.

This high grade variety of mango has a very short season of about 2 months from the beginning of May up to around the end of June; but is well worth seeking out due to the very sweet & almost fibreless nature of this fruit.

This year (2020) the Alphonso & Kesar prices in London are eye wateringly expensive due to the Covid-19 Corona Virus. Sellers are saying that the cost of airfreight has tripled, hence to cost of a box of 12 Hapus was between £18.00 to £23.00 here in the UK

On the day of our visit the price was:

Large King Size Kesar Mango: £17.00 per 4kg box or 2 boxes for £33.00

Medium Size Kesar Mango: £15.00 per 3kg box or 2 boxes for £28.00

Large King Size Hapus Mango: £25.00 per box
