Dasheri mangoes are an Indian mango variety, Magnifera indica, from the north of India. Dasheri mangoes are known as the “mother” mango to many varieties found in the northern region of India. The sweet mangoes are also known as Dashehari mangoes, and the spelling can vary around the region.
Dasheri mangoes, like other mango varieties are high in vitamin C and fiber. Mangoes naturally contain enzymes beneficial for digestion as well as many other valuable vitamins and minerals.
Dasheri mangoes are considered “table” mangoes, meaning they are most often eaten fresh, out of hand. Slice both halves away from the stone, and slice the mango horizontally and vertically while still adhered to the skin. Carefully slice away the skin from the diced mango and add to fruit salads or smoothies. The sweetness and flavor of Dasheri mangoes makes them ideal for fresh and dessert applications. One Dasheri grower suggests taking a ripe Dasheri mango in hand, squeezing the fruit to soften the pulp and poking a hole in the skin to release the juice. Dasheri mangoes keep well; they take around 6 days to ripen at room temperature, and can be refrigerated for up to a week afterwards.
