Mango! History and Varieties in Pakistan
The King, Mango
In the 19th century Mirza Ghalib, the great Urdu/Persian poet, immortalized the mango in his beautiful verses, describing it as the “king of fruits” and extolling qualities such as its exotic aroma and its honey-sweetness. It shines at every feast, for rich or the poor alike.Mangoes are not only Pakistan’s national fruit, but they are also part of the culture, a networking tool, an instrument of social bonding, and a diplomatic emissary worthy of being gifted to dignitaries all over the world.
At this time of the year, the renowned Chaunsa variety has arrived in the Kingdom, following on from the Sindhari, which ripens earlier. They are just two of 1595 known varieties of mangoes known. Other commercially produced varieties in Pakistan include Langra, Dasehri, Anwar Ratool, Samar Bahisht, and Desi.
All hail the KING! The arrival of summer in Pakistan also translates into mango season. After all, we are now the fourth-largest producer of mangoes in the world with more than 400 varieties. While summers are usually all about fruits, mangoes have a special place reserved for them in the hearts of Pakistanis everywhere. The heavenly fruit can be great as raw in salads, chopped into desserts, pureed into beverages like smoothies and mango lassi, and even pickled into the typical aam ka achaar or shredded mango murabba.
The history of mangoes dates back over a thousand years. Aside from being the most delicious fruit, every part of mango including the fruit itself, its skin, leaves, the bark of the tree, and even the pit is useful as a health remedy in one form or another.
TYPES OF MANGOES
Among the 400 varieties of mangoes in Pakistan, only 25 to 30 are grown on a commercial scale. Some of the most popular types of mangoes grown in Pakistan include:- Langra
- Chaunsa
- Anwer Ratool
- Sindhri
- Dussehri
LANGRA
CHAUNSA
While the Chaunsa is considered by many to be the best mango, any Pakistani variety tastes sublime. It is also a very versatile fruit. Eaten with a paratha, it makes for a complete meal. A mango lassi (curd shake) in the morning provides an energy boost that will help to see you through the day. A mango salad for lunch and another lassi in place of afternoon tea will pep you up if you start to flag. Mangoes are also used to make ice-cream, squashes, juices, chutneys, pickles, puree, and are sold sliced in syrup.
