Alphonso Mango Orchard:

Nowadays it's hard to find naturally ripened farm fresh mangoes unless one has own mango farms or pluck the mangoes directly from trees by any means. Normally mangoes sold by a farmer crosses different level of agents and reaches the consumer. It is being stored and applied ripening techniques to reach consumer's hands. We at Salemmango eliminates all these middle level storages and give you the farm produce directly and the steps are explained below,

Alphonso mango saplings are planted in traditional way of keeping 25 feet distance across each of the tree. Red soil & Alluvial soil are the best suited for mango cultivation.
Alphonso saplings normally take 3 to 4 years to start flowering and to bear the fruits. The trees has to be pruned properly so that sunlight falls on the stem.
During the flowering blossom season there will be around 1000 flowers produced in the tree, out of which only 10 to 20 buds remain in the tree and converted to fruits.
The mango trees has to be watered regularly once in a week for the fruits to mature.

When the mangoes are ready for harversting, we pluck only the matured mangoes because the matured one alone can ripe naturally.
Matured Alphonso mangoes can be identified by the mangoes which has inward circle cavity near the stem, big enough and sometimes turns pinkish yellow.
The stem of Alphonso mangoes are cut after havest and the mangoes are laid bottom to top for atleast half an hour until the milky liquid in the mango dries out.
The mangoes are then packed directly in hay box and shipped to respective address which avoids any kind of storage or middleman intervention.
The only person to touch the mangoes until packing will be a farmer which guarentees the mango authenticity and organic taste.

Ripening can be quicken by placing the mangoes inside rice bag or placing a fully ripened mango fruit inside the box along with other mangoes.

How to find the alphonoso mangoes are ripen?:

The alphonso mangoes will ripe one by one and ripening duration will vary from 2 to 5 days. The ripen mangoes look with a combination of green and deep yellowish color. A fully ripened alphonso mango turns completely yellow and produce a strong aroma.

Sometimes all the mangoes won't turn yellow and color of mangoes are not always the best indicator of fruit stage. It's a best way to gently squeeze the mango. If the mango is hard on squeezing it is not ready for consumption. Don't press too hard as it will damage the pulp inside and will be spoiled after ripening.

Bought Alphonso mangoes. The mangoes were good, even though there were a few that were not so sweet.

Palashir Rajan R

This is my second order. Delivery, packing and the quality of mangoes is very good. Pricing is a bit on higher side. Based on the Pricing of keelimuku mangoes which goes for 99 per kg and above that is the shipping charge. Whereas we get the same for around 30 to 50 per kg in the local market. Anyways am happy to do business with you folks for the sheer taste and quality of the mangoes. Try to provide a list with the name of mangoes. Or esle Pack separately each mangoes. Will also buy from u in the future.

Preethi

Malgova had already ripened and spoilt when I received it. Imam pasand and Alphonso were really good.

GishaAnil

Mangoes were really good.

ShahabSyed

I had ordered 1 K each of 3 different types of Mangoes (3KG total) The ordered arrived and I was happy to see that there was no damage to the packaging or the mangoes. What I was a bit unhappy about was that all 3 types were mixed together. I left them aside to ripe, but instead of getting yellow, they remained green and became softer. Later I cut some of them and found them to be ripe and ready to eat. Maybe if you could let us know how many days to wait for them to ripen it will help.

SaravanaprakashBalakrishnan

2 pieces out of 3 Kgs of Mangoes were spoilt. We couldn't eat it. But otherwise, we like the taste of it in fact we loved it, packaging was also good. Keep the work, try avoiding mangoes which could get spoilt within 2 to 3 days if you are sending it for farther locations. Thanks, Saravana

The second purchase of Alphonso and malgova were not very good. Imam pasand seems to be your speciality. Quite unhappy with the other 2 varieties.

SARAVANAKUMAR

The taste and packaging is good .seen mangoes with hay after very long time and it has given natural feel. You have a scope for increasing sales by advertising in much better bay. By increasing sales volume you can reduce the price become price competitive . You can try to sell other exotic fruits like ..kodikka ,ilanthai, naval Pelham, et c

Great to get back the nostalgia of Salem Nadusalai and Gundu mangoes. The promise of delivery by next day for the mangoes was commendable and I got within one day. The weekend was enjoyable with the childhood memories of Nadusalai mangoes. Great guys for bringing the home town specialties to us. Regards Dattha Chennai

Exceptionally high quality mangoes delivered promptly. It's a pleasure to do business with these guys. Now that PayPal is an option, ordering mangoes from the US (for delivery within India) is a piece of cake. I highly recommend SalemMango.com

swathireddy

Packing is good. Even the Mangoes are good. But only disappointment was they were little sour. We felt that the Mangoes were plucked way too early. If they could have ripened little more on the trees. Ur produce would have been the best.

Vasanthy S

First purchase was excellent. 2nd purchase was ok...some mangoes were already soft due to heat..

Guest

I liked the packing and mangoes too. There was a confusion in DTDC delivery, due to that it got delayed for 2 Days. Other than I am really happy with Salem Mango. I will continue buying.

Thanni

Cricketer Ashwin tasted your mangoes and reviewed the best taste he ever seen. His whole family liked it and wanted to buy more.

T V R K SARMA

I have received well in advance. I think I have seen the Alphonso for the first time. Two or three fruits were ripe. They have yellow colour. But they were very soft so to say overripe. We could not cut them properly. I have some more with yellow colour. I kept them separately. A few are still partly green. I kept them in the box. Taste is very sweet. I liked it. Your photos in your website are very attractive. But the mangoes that were sent are little small in size. Photos are not giving actual picture of the product. I think the proper time to eat mangoes is last week of April and first week of May.

VasanthiRaam

SIR FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANKU AND WISH U ALL THE BEST IN YOUR VENTURE. THE GUNDU MANGOES REALLY TASTED DIVINE. NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FEW POINTS 1---THE ADDRESS WAS HANDWRITTEN WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS INSTEAD OF SMALL LETTERS 2---THE MOBILE NUMBER WAS ENTERED WRONG--ONE BOX HAD 11 NUMBERS .THIS MADE DELIVERY DIFFICULT AND UNNECESSARY DELAY ENSUED BY A WEEK WHICH WAS UNWARRANTED.
