Fresh Himayat Mango (3kg) – The Royal “Imam Pasand” Delicacy
Unveil the best-kept secret of the mango world with Berrydale Foods. While Alphonso is famous, true connoisseurs know that Fresh Himayat Mango (also known as Imam Pasand) is in a league of its own. Native to Andhra Pradesh, this variety was historically grown for royalty, and once you taste it, you will understand why.
We bring you a premium 3kg box of Fresh Himayat Mango, hand-harvested at peak maturity. These are not your average supermarket fruits; they are massive, export-grade specimens often weighing between 400g to 700g each, delivered straight to your doorstep.
Why Choose Fresh Himayat Mango?
If Alphonso is the King, Himayat is the Emperor. It offers a sophisticated eating experience that is distinct from any other variety.
-
The “One-Man” Meal: These mangoes are huge. A single Fresh Himayat Mango is often a full meal in itself.
-
Zero Fiber: The flesh is completely fiberless. It cuts like butter and melts in your mouth instantly.
-
Unique Flavor Profile: Unlike the standard sugary sweetness of other mangoes, Himayat has a complex flavor with distinct tropical notes of coconut and a zesty hint of lime aftertaste.
-
Edible Skin: The skin is incredibly thin and soft. Many enthusiasts eat the fruit with the skin (after washing) to enjoy its full tangy-sweet profile.

The “Imam Pasand” Legend
The name “Imam Pasand” translates to “The Imam’s Favorite.” Legend has it that this specific variety was selected for the royal courts and religious leaders because of its calm, non-aggressive sweetness and incredibly soft texture. Today, we maintain that royal standard. Every Fresh Himayat Mango box we ship meets strict export protocols:
-
Carbide-Free: Ripened naturally in grass or ethylene-free chambers to preserve the delicate aroma.
-
Hand-Polished: Cleaned and desapped to ensure the skin is spotless and golden-yellow.
-
Size Graded: We only pack the “Jumbo” size fruits for our export and premium domestic boxes.
Culinary Uses: How to Enjoy
Because of its premium price and unique texture, Fresh Himayat Mango is best enjoyed raw.
-
The Royal Slice: Simply slice the cheeks and scoop out the buttery flesh with a spoon. It feels like eating a natural custard.
-
Summer Salads: The firm yet soft texture holds up well in fruit salads without turning mushy.
-
Gourmet Desserts: Use the puree to make a sophisticated mousse or panna cotta where the coconut undertones can shine.
Global Export Standards
Berrydale Foods is a trusted name in international trade. The Fresh Himayat Mango you receive is the same quality we send to discerning buyers in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
-
Protective Packaging: Because Himayat has very thin skin, it is delicate. We use specialized foam netting for each individual fruit inside the 3kg corrugated box to prevent any travel damage.
-
Air-Flown Freshness: For our international orders, these mangoes are often air-flown to ensure they reach the customer within days of harvest.
Storage and Ripening
-
Green vs. Yellow: Your Fresh Himayat Mango may arrive with a greenish tint. This is normal.
-
Ripening: Keep them at room temperature in the box. They are ready to eat when the skin turns a uniform golden yellow and the fruit yields slightly to gentle thumb pressure.
-
Refrigeration: Once ripe, move them to the fridge immediately. They taste incredible when chilled and can last for 3-5 days.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is Himayat more expensive than other mangoes?
A: Fresh Himayat Mango has a very short season (only 4-6 weeks) and a lower yield per tree compared to other varieties. Its massive size and unique fiberless texture make it a rare, premium delicacy.
Q: Does it taste like Alphonso?
A: No, it is quite different. While Alphonso is rich and creamy, Himayat is lighter, buttery, and has a unique “coconut-lime” aftertaste that many find more refreshing.
Q: How many fruits are in the 3kg box?
A: Since these are jumbo fruits, a 3kg box typically contains 4 to 6 large mangoes.
Q: Is the skin really edible?
A: Yes, the skin is paper-thin and not bitter like other varieties. However, we always recommend washing it thoroughly if you plan to eat it.
