Exotica Imam Pasand Mango Plant  (Hybrid, Pack of 1)

Imam Pasand or Himam Pasand is a lesser known and exclusive mango cultivar grown in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana states. The names suggest regal origins and it is said to have been the fruit of choice for India's royalty. It is a large, not too attractive looking mango, mottled green that lightens to blotched yellow green as it ripens. It is available only during the months of May and June and each mango could grow up to 800 gm in weight. It is prized by connoisseurs for its unique taste and it has been considered as the King of Mangoes. Many mangoes are initially sweet, but are undone by aftertastes which can be harsh, rank, chalky or chemical unlike Alphonsos, with their aroma and incredibly rich smoothness of its aftertaste. The Imam Pasand's aftertaste is quite different, with hints of coconut and lime, a brightly spicy sour Thai curry to the suave Mughlai curry richness of Alphonsos. A bite into one of these mangoes will reveal a tangy outer layer that hides the sweet flesh inside.
