The Black Kasturi mango is a distinctive variety known for its deep purple to almost black skin when ripe
The Black Kasturi Mango (also known as Kasturi or Mangifera odorata) is a rare and aromatic mango variety primarily found in Borneo and parts of Indonesia and Malaysia. It’s quite distinct from the more common Indian or Alphonso types due to its color, scent, and flavor profile.
Key Features:
-
Color: When ripe, it turns a deep purplish-black or dark maroon, unlike most yellow or green mangoes.
-
Aroma: True to its name (odorata), it has an intensely fragrant scent, almost musky and resinous.
-
Taste: Sweet but strongly resinous and spicy, often considered an acquired taste. It’s less fibrous and softer than many commercial mangoes.
-
Size & Shape: Small to medium-sized, often oval.
-
Tree Characteristics: Grows in tropical lowland forests; the trees are relatively shorter and bear fruit seasonally.
-
Rarity: Due to limited commercial cultivation and specific climate requirements, it’s considered an exotic variety.
