Himayat mango: Mango is not a royal ritual … Taste reached Rani from Humayun, the first choice of Hyderabadis!

Hyderabad. In Hyderabad, with summer, every street, mango shops start to decorate at every nook. From Safeda to lame, from Pedda Rasalu to Dashari. The fragrance of every kind of mango dissolves in the fruits of the entire city. But in the midst of all this, there is also a common man who has a different identity from its royal heritage and status, not just taste. The name of this mango is- Himayat mango, which is also known as ‘Imam choice’ in Hyderabad.

If you ask a common seller in the streets of Hyderabad about the mangoes, then he will call it a bridge to praise him, calling it a ‘king of mango’. He will say that this mango is not just fruit, but an experience, which drains customers to the same cart again in every season. In almost every fruit market in the city, Himayat is one of the most expensive and hurry -selling mangoes.

Humayun and its taste reached the queen of England

Himayat mango is not just fruit, but a taste associated with the pages of history. According to historians and local people, the roots of this mango were in Tamil Nadu, but the Nizams of Hyderabad fixed its royal luck. He grown it in his gardens on a large scale and its popularity increased from here that it came to be called ‘Imam choice’ or ‘Humayun choice’. It is said that the Mughal Emperor Humayun also liked the same mangoes, and later the Nizams sent this mango as a gift to the Queen of England. Due to this royal history, Himayat mangoes in Hyderabad are still seen with respect and pride. Many carts of the old city still get to hear this anecdote today- that this mango is not just fruit, but a tradition.

Does every mango back with its taste
The more unique mangoes are, the more special it is. When the rest of the mango market is sold for 40 to 60 rupees a kg, the price of Himayat mangoes directly to Rs 180 to 220 kg. But despite this, customers come from far and wide in search of it. The reason is its taste. It is not a common fibrous but a soft like butter and its sweetness is very natural. Those who taste it for the first time, they usually do not buy any other kind of mango for the second time. There is no acidic or sharpness in it, due to which it becomes everyone’s favorite from common children to the elderly. The special thing is that it does not deteriorate quickly and juice, ice cream or sweet dishes can also be made from its pieces.
