While Madhya Pradesh’s Katthiwada is known for its scenic beauty, recently, it has gained popularity on social media for another unique attraction – Noorjahan mangoes.
Named after the Mughal queen, these rare mangoes are considered to be the biggest in the country – they weigh 3-3.5 kilos and can grow up to one foot long. The trees start flowering around some time around January and February, and bear fruits around June.
Growers of this variety believe it made its way from Afghanistan to Madhya Pradesh via Gujarat hundreds of years ago. And while there are multiple growers of the fruit, the most famous mangoes of this variety come from Noorjahan Mango Farms, owned and managed by Shivraj Singh Jadav.
