Kesar mangoes are a premium variety grown primarily in the Gir region of Gujarat, India, widely regarded as one of the finest mango cultivars in the world. Known for their intensely aromatic fragrance, deep saffron-colored flesh, and exceptionally sweet flavor with low fiber content, Kesar mangoes are a seasonal delicacy available only during the summer harvest months.
Each pack contains 4 whole mangoes imported directly from India. Kesar mangoes are prized for their rich, honey-like sweetness and smooth, creamy texture that distinguishes them from common supermarket varieties. The name "Kesar" means saffron in Hindi, a reference to the golden-orange hue of the fruit's interior.
Ripe Kesar mangoes are best enjoyed fresh, chilled, and eaten out of hand or sliced. They also excel in lassis, chutneys, desserts, and smoothies. To ripen at home, keep at room temperature until fragrant and slightly yielding to pressure, then refrigerate to extend freshness. Costco carries these as a limited seasonal offering at select warehouse locations.
