हापुस(Alfonso)

[Hindi]

The Alfonso mango is an orange-fleshed variety of mango grown in India. It is small, intensely perfumed and dripping with juice. The best varieties of mango have a wonderfully perfumed and flavoured flesh, but lowlier varieties can be fibrous and dry. They are described as turpentine mangoes because of their flavour. The Alphonso mango is highly valued in India. In Sri Lanka dumpara mangoes, which are small and fibrous, are valued for their sweet honeyed juices. They have to be kneaded gently to soften the fibres, to allow the juices to be sucked out.
