Description
Its small green appearance and beak at the end of the fruit resemble a parrot, hence its name (as TOTA means PARROT in Hindi). Unlike other cultivars, it’s acceptable to eat the skin of this variety. But, don’t expect Totapuris to be sweet like the other cultivars, either! This variety is a bit crunchy and tangy. Best served with salt and chilli powder. One could also Pickle this cultivar quite easily.
The cultivar Totapuri is seen in the southern parts of India as well as Sri Lanka. The cultivar totapuri looks like a parrot’s face as the name indicates. Its skin is harder than other varieties that make it more resistant to pests. It is one of the varieties of mangos that are growing for pulp.
- Mr. Mango promises Carbide Free and Chemical Free Mangoes fresh from the farm. Mangoes tend to get sweeter as the season peaks and best tasted between February to August.
Some sellers use the harmful and banned Calcium Carbide chemical to ripen the mangoes unnaturally. Artificial ripening is banned under the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) Act, 1954 and the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955.
The chemical in the mangoes enter the body and cause dangerous diseases like cancer.
But at Mr. Mango, the mangoes are ripened naturally by wrapping them in dried grass. It’s our promise. “We deliver 100% Carbide-free mangoes”
