Kesar Mango – Pre-Order

Kesar comes from Gujarat, India, where it is prized for its saffron-colored flesh (kesar means saffron). Every box is picked from our own trees in Merritt Island, Florida.

• Flavor: Sweet and strongly aromatic.
• Texture: Smooth saffron-orange flesh.
• Season: Still being confirmed on our trees (our season runs roughly May–September).
• Tier: Classic ($147 small / $197 large).

What's in the box

One box of Kesar mangoes, sold by weight: Small Box (4–5 lb) or Large Box (8–10 lb). Fruit size varies, so the number of mangoes per box varies.

Pre-order and shipping

This is a pre-order for the 2027 season. Harvest timing for Kesar is still being confirmed on our trees; we will email you before your box ships. Price includes USPS Priority shipping (2–3 days) to the lower 48 states except California. We can't ship to Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. territories. If the Kesar harvest comes up short, you can choose a substitute variety or store credit for the full amount (no cash refunds).

Ripening tip

Mangoes may arrive firm. Keep them at room temperature until they give slightly to gentle pressure and smell sweet at the stem end, then refrigerate to hold them a few extra days. Kesar's aroma builds as it ripens; when the stem end smells sweet, it is ready.
