{"product_id":"pairi-raspuri","title":"Pairi \/ Raspuri","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWidely regarded as regional names for the same cultivar, \u003cstrong\u003ePairi\u003c\/strong\u003e (also spelled Payri, Payari or Paheri) is how this mango is known across \u003cstrong\u003eKonkan coast (primarily in Maharashtra) in India\u003c\/strong\u003e — e.g. Ratnagiri, Raigad, Devgad and Pawas — while it is called \u003cstrong\u003eRaspuri\u003c\/strong\u003ein \u003cstrong\u003eKarnataka\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it dominates orchards in and around Bengaluru, Ramanagara, Kolar, Chikkaballapura and Tumakuru, the historic Old Mysuru belt. The name is traced to the Sanskrit \u003cem\u003erasa\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning juice, a direct nod to the fruit's defining quality. In Maharashtra it is affectionately called \u003cstrong\u003eAmrut Payari\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eamrut\u003c\/em\u003e = nectar), standing second only to Alphonso in regional esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe fruit is oval and slightly tapered, small to medium at roughly \u003cstrong\u003e150–250 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing in a small pointed non-stem end — the distinctive \"nose\" Konkan growers use to identify it. The peel is thin, smooth and taut, showing variegated yellow-green shades with fine dark brown-black speckling; sun-exposed fruit develops a red-orange blush, and Karnataka-grown Raspuri typically ripens to reddish-yellow. Certain Maharashtra strains, locally called \u003cstrong\u003eSuraj Mukhi\u003c\/strong\u003e, carry a pronounced reddish tinge. A practical quirk worth knowing: \u003cstrong\u003eRaspuri ripens from the inside out\u003c\/strong\u003e, so skin colour is an unreliable maturity guide — the fruit may still look green while fully ripe, and softness of flesh is the true indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pulp is golden-orange, dense yet aqueous, soft, tender and \u003cstrong\u003elightly fibrous\u003c\/strong\u003e, enclosing a thin, flat \u003cstrong\u003emonoembryonic\u003c\/strong\u003e seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe flavour is sweet with a subtle tartness and a distinctly floral, fruity character — tasting notes consistently cite honey, peach and apricot, with a gentle spice note in Konkan fruit. The ripe fruit releases a pronounced sweet (TSS upto 20 brix), floral fragrance. Pairi is well-known for its outstanding sugar-acid blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNutritionally it is a strong carotenoid source; a study by Veda, Platel and Srinivasan (ICAR-CFTRI, Mysuru) found Raspuri had the \u003cstrong\u003ehighest β-carotene bioaccessibility (39.1%)\u003c\/strong\u003e among six Indian cultivars tested, outperforming Badami, Mallika, Malgoa, Totapuri and Neelam — meaning a greater share of its provitamin A is actually absorbed by the body. The same work found that blending mango with milk — exactly how Raspuri is traditionally consumed as lassi or milkshake — raises β-carotene bioaccessibility further by 12–56%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt is among the \u003cstrong\u003eearliest mangoes of the season\u003c\/strong\u003e, arriving before Alphonso; the Karnataka harvest runs April–June with market availability through end-June, and Konkan Pairi typically lands from mid-May. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePairi is a vigorous, large-canopied tree rather than a compact one. However, through annual pruning, the height can be managed under desired length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCulinarily it is the aamras mango par excellence. Its juicy, low-fibre pulp is blended with Alphonso to produce the classic Maharashtrian and Gujarati aamras, and it converts readily into juices, nectars, jams, fruit cheese, shrikhand, ice cream and yoghurt, as well as bakery fillings and infant fruit foods - it is one of the industry favourites. Production-wise, Pairi has on-season (bears heavily) and off-season (bears less) in alternate years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRipe Pairi is traditionally eaten by softening the fruit between the palms and sucking the pulp through a small tear at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eYellow-green shades with orange-red blush\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eAverage Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003e150-250 grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSweetness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eTSS upto 20 Brix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eShelf Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eGood - 8 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eSeed Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eMonoembryonic, small and thin \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline-flex; align-items: baseline; gap: 5px; background: #f5ede0; border: 1px solid #e0d0b8; padding: 4px 12px; margin: 4px 4px 0 0; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a7a60;\"\u003eBearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #1a3a28;\"\u003eAlternate - On-year (heavy) and Off-year (less)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MangoPlant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52696735351086,"sku":"MP-PairiRaspuri","price":450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/7630\/6990\/files\/Yourparagraphtext-21_44a8878c-3f1c-4212-bf88-b58c84bee62f.png?v=1789915475","url":"https:\/\/www.mangoplant.com\/products\/pairi-raspuri","provider":"Mango Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
