India is home to a rich variety of mangoes, but few are as cherished and sought-after as the Langda Aam. Grown in the fertile plains of Uttar Pradesh, especially in regions like Varanasi, this mango has earned a Geographical Indication (GI) Tag, highlighting its cultural, historical, and agricultural importance.
At mymomdad.com, we take pride in bringing you GI Tag products directly from their place of origin, and the Langda mango is no exception. Let’s explore why this humble fruit is a national favorite and a global gem.
Origin Story: The name Langda (meaning "lame") has an unusual history. It is believed to have originated from a tree planted by a disabled farmer in Varanasi centuries ago. Over time, the mangoes from this tree became legendary for their flavor.
Taste & Texture: Known for its intensely aromatic, fibrous-free pulp, and richly sweet-sour flavor, Langda Aam is a favorite for desserts, pickles, shakes, or simply as a juicy treat on a hot summer day.
Harvest Season: Langda mangoes are typically available from late June to August, making them one of the last mango varieties to ripen. This extended harvest time adds to their exclusivity.
The Geographical Indication (GI) Tag given to Langda Aam by the Indian Government ensures:
Authenticity: Only mangoes grown in designated areas of Uttar Pradesh can be marketed as Langda Aam.
Protection of Heritage: The GI tag helps preserve local farming traditions and recognizes the generations of mango growers who have perfected this art.
Support to Local Farmers: By choosing GI Tag products, you're directly supporting the livelihoods of government-certified farmers and promoting India's rich agricultural legacy.
