Chaunsa

Chaunsa is a popular variety of mango that originated in Pakistan. It is widely regarded as one of the finest mangoes in the world, known for its distinct flavor and texture. The fruit is typically medium to large in size, with an oval shape. Its skin color ranges from yellow-green to a rich yellow when ripe, often with a slight blush of red.

The flesh of the Chaunsa mango is a vibrant golden yellow, characterized by its soft, juicy, and fibrous texture. It is renowned for its sweet, rich, and somewhat musky flavor, with a pleasant aroma. The sweetness is often balanced by a subtle tartness, making it highly desirable for fresh consumption. Chaunsa mangoes are also known for their relatively small seed.

The mango season for Chaunsa in Pakistan typically runs from late May to August. It is cultivated extensively in the Punjab and Sindh provinces. Due to its exceptional taste and aroma, Chaunsa mangoes are in high demand both domestically and internationally, making them a significant export commodity for Pakistan. There are two main types of Chaunsa: the 'white' Chaunsa, which is slightly less sweet and more aromatic, and the 'black' Chaunsa, which is sweeter and typically ripens later.
