Modern and foreign varieties of mango

Many modern and foreign varieties of mango have now been associated with local varieties. But to be honest, the taste of those local or local varieties was different. Nowadays, you can't find sour or dried mangoes — everything is almost sweet and hairless. If you used to eat milk rice with the local lame mango, the smell of that mango would stick in your hand for a long time. Now there is no such strong aroma from the big modern Langra mango. The same goes for Khudi Khirsha and Khirsha or Khirshapati Mango. Although it is known as Kshirshapati in Chapainawabganj and Rajshahi region, it is actually a type of Himsagar variety. Mango is no longer as popular as Himsagar or Kshirshapati varieties in sweetness and taste

When does any mango come

Gopalbhog variety of mango is seen first in the season. Gopalbhog mango is medium in size, ripe mango is yellowish green in color, peel is not completely yellow when ripe, kernels are thin, no scales and sweet. Then came Himsagar or Kshirshapati mango. Mangoes of this variety also turn yellowish green when ripe, sometimes dirty yellow, medium in size, orange peel, very sweet, fragrant and delicious. This seems to be the best mango. The real place of Khirshapati mango is Chapainawabganj. Then lame. Langra mango is a very rectangular round, light green peel, it does not turn yellow even when ripe, the shell is thin, yellow shell, if it is not ripe well, it can scratch the face. The lame mango has a reputation for sweetness. Lakshmanbhog or Lakhna mango is also available at this time. When ripe, this variety of mango becomes bright yellow, reddish in color near the stem. For this reason it is also called colorful mango. The smell is good. Lakhna mango is found in Rajshahi. Later, broken mangoes were grown. This variety of mango is found in Rangpur region. Even though the full season is over, there are some more varieties of mangoes in the trees and in the market. Amrapali has already become the queen of mangoes as a nabi variety. Some people say Rupali Mango, in fact Amrapali. Amrapali was the best dancer of ancient India. That is why this mango of the best variety has been named Amrapali in his honor. Amrapali mango peel is smooth or oily, small to medium size mango, ripe mango is yellowish green, tip is slightly narrow, shell is orange and very sweet, ripe amrapali mango can be kept indoors for several days. Amrapali mango is found all over the country. Amrapali is now widely cultivated in hilly areas as well. Fazli and Ashwina are still popular as Nabi caste. In fact, half of the mangoes in Chapainawabganj are Ashwina. Nabi-born Ashwina is dark green in color and Fazli mango is green in color. Ashwina mango tastes sour-sweet, Fazli tastes big mango with sweet taste. Now Nabi variety is popular among many as mango. Medium-sized Bari Mango-4 variety and Gauramati are becoming very popular. These two varieties of mango are succulent and beautiful in appearance. Three times a year, many people have become interested in cultivating Bari Mango-11 and Katiman variety in Thailand. Hopefully, in a few years we will be able to buy this variety of mango from the market. There are many small and big mangoes in this country. Ripe katimon yellow fragrant sweet. The largest varieties of mangoes in the country are Brunei King, Balisha, Arajan, Bombay Fazli etc. Brunei King Mango is tall, has a narrow face and weighs three to four kilograms.
