Veena's, the UK's No.1 Indian grocery store, is now delivering seasonal fresh mangoes to every corner of the country.
Why Are Indian Mangoes So Special?
India is the world's largest producer of mangoes and for good reason. The unique combination of India's tropical climate, rich soil and centuries of careful cultivation produces fruits that are simply unmatched anywhere else in the world. Indian mangoes are celebrated for:
-
Exceptional natural sweetness: No added sugars, no artificial ripening. The flavour comes entirely from the fruit itself.
- Intensely aromatic fragrance: The floral scent of a ripe Alphonso or Kesar mango is unmistakable and unlike anything sold in UK supermarkets.
- Silky, fibre-free flesh: Premium Indian varieties like Alphonso and Kesar have a smooth, creamy texture that simply melts on the tongue.
- Natural seasonal availability: Indian mangoes arrive fresh from orchards each summer. This is what makes them so precious and worth waiting for.
- Authentic taste of home: For the South Asian community in the UK, nothing beats the real thing. Not tinned, not frozen — fresh, ripe and bursting with flavour.
The Three Indian Mango Varieties at Veena's
At Veena's, we source three of India's most beloved and sought-after mango
varieties every season. Here is everything you need to know about each one:
Alphonso Mango (Hapus) — The King of Mangoes
Grown in the Ratnagiri and Devgad regions of Maharashtra, the Alphonso — or Hapus — is widely regarded as the King of Mangoes. It has a deep saffron-yellow skin, a rich buttery texture and an incomparable sweetness with subtle notes of honey and cream.
Best for: Eating fresh, aamras, mango lassi, shrikhand, kulfi, and desserts.
Kesar Mango — The Queen of Mangoes
Grown in the foothills of Girnar in Gujarat, Kesar mangoes are named after their stunning saffron-coloured flesh. They carry a beautiful floral aroma, a balanced sweet-tangy taste and are one of the most popular varieties for juices and Indian sweets.
Best for: Mango juice, smoothies, mango burfi, halwa, and ice cream.
Banganapalli Mango (Badami) — The Family Favourite
One of India's oldest and most popular varieties, Banganapalli (also called Safeda or Badami) comes from Andhra Pradesh. These large, oblong golden mangoes have a mild, honeyed sweetness, thin skin and completely fibre-free, juicy flesh — making them incredibly easy to eat.
Best for: Slicing fresh, pickles, chutney, mango rice, and everyday eating.

When Is Indian Mango Season in the UK?
Indian mango season typically runs from April to July, following the harvest in India. This is the window when authentic, freshly imported mangoes are at their sweetest and most fragrant. Outside of this period, what you find in shops is rarely fresh — it is either imported from other countries or has been in cold storage for weeks.
At Veena's, we bring in fresh stock throughout the season and sell out quickly. especially for Alphonso. We strongly recommend placing your order early so you are not disappointed. Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on social media to be notified the moment our seasonal mangoes land in stock.
