Totapuri Mango Pulp
|
The Fruit
|
|
Totapuri Mangoes (Magnifera indica)
are oblong with prominent beak in shape and about 6 - 8 inches long.
The skin of the fruit is thick and green, yellow or a fanciful combination
of these colours, but is inedible. There is a central large seed surrounded
by the pulp, which ranges from pale to bright yellow. The mango has
a rich aromatic flavour and is delicious in which sweetness and acidity
are delicately blended. It is an excellent source of Vitamin A and
C.

General Description
|
India grows the finest mangoes in the world. Although more than a thousand
varieties exist, only around 20 varieties are grown on commercial scale
out of which Totapuri is one of the outstanding specimen. Mangoes grow
on spreading short-trunked trees that have thick dark green leaves.
The fruits hang from the branches either singly or in bunch. The product
mango pulp is obtained by the processing of sound, mature, ripened Totapuri
mangoes possessing the characteristic flavour and colour of mangoes.
The final pulp is obtained by passing through 0.7-mm sieve.
