Description

The “Bari 1 Malta” fruit is a prominent sweet orange (or a sweet lime/sweet lemon type, often categorized under Citrus sinensis ‘L’ or Citrus limetta) cultivar that was developed by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI). It’s particularly well-known and commercially important in Bangladesh and has also gained popularity in parts of India, including West Bengal, due to its desirable characteristics.

Here’s a detailed description of the Bari 1 Malta fruit:

  • Appearance:

    • Shape and Size: Bari 1 Malta fruits are typically round to slightly oval, and medium-sized. Reports indicate an average fruit weight of around 146 grams, with a length of about 7 cm and a breadth of 5 cm.
    • Skin (Rind): The skin is thin, smooth, and relatively easy to peel. While many oranges turn bright orange when fully ripe, Bari 1 Malta is often harvested and marketed when its skin is still a vibrant green or yellowish-green, even when sweet and ready to eat. This green color is a distinguishing feature, especially when compared to imported oranges. Some may turn more yellow or bright orange upon full maturity or if exposed to certain conditions.
    • Internal Flesh: The pulp is juicy and typically a pale yellow to light orange color. It is segmented like a typical orange.
    • Seeds: A highly desirable characteristic is that Bari 1 Malta is generally considered to be seedless or nearly seedless, containing very few seeds. This makes it much more enjoyable for fresh consumption and juicing.

  • Taste and Texture:

    • Taste: The flavor is a defining feature – it’s renowned for being sweet with a balanced, mild tanginess. It’s less acidic than many lemons or limes, offering a pleasant, refreshing citrus taste that is not overwhelmingly tart. The TSS (Total Soluble Solids, indicating sugar content) is often around 7.8%, with low acidity (total acid around 0.36%), contributing to its “sweet” designation.
    • Texture: The flesh is very juicy, with a high juice content (reported around 33.7%), and a tender texture.

  • Botanical Characteristics and Origin:

    • Origin: Developed by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, Bangladesh, and released around 2003. Its genetic origin is Pakistan.
    • Tree: The Bari 1 Malta plant is described as short, wide, and very bushy. It’s a high-yielding, regular fruit-bearing variety. As a grafted plant, it ensures faster fruiting (often within 1-2 years) and consistent fruit quality.
    • Adaptability: It’s well-suited for cultivation in the climatic conditions of Bangladesh and similar regions in India, including parts of West Bengal. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.

  • Seasonality:

    • Flowering typically initiates in March. The harvesting time usually falls between October and December, though some regions might see availability slightly earlier or later. It’s often cultivated to fill a niche in the market before or after other major citrus varieties.

  • Nutritional Value and Health Benefits:

    • Like other citrus fruits, Bari 1 Malta is an excellent source of Vitamin C, which is crucial for boosting immunity and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
    • It also contains other beneficial compounds, contributing to overall health, digestion, and potentially aiding in cancer prevention and heart health.

  • Culinary Uses:

    • Fresh Eating: Due to its sweet flavor and juicy, seedless (or nearly seedless) pulp, it’s primarily consumed fresh, often peeled and eaten directly.
    • Juices and Beverages: It makes a highly refreshing and naturally sweet juice, popular in beverages.
    • Salads: Can be used in fruit salads.
    • Other Uses: Its balanced flavor also makes it suitable for some desserts and potentially for mild marmalades or preserves.

The Bari 1 Malta is a successful example of agricultural research benefiting local communities by providing a highly marketable, sweet, and juicy citrus fruit well-suited to the region’s climate
