The Best Indian Mangoes in Windsor, Ontario
"Best" is a loaded word with mangoes — ask ten Indian families in Windsor and you'll get ten answers and one argument. But if the question is which mangoes you can actually get in Windsor, Ontario that are worth your money, the list is short and the answer is clear.
Here's an honest ranking of the best Indian mangoes available in Windsor this season, and how to get them delivered to your door.
1. Alphonso — the best mango, full stop
If you only buy one box this season, make it Alphonso. Grown on the laterite cliffs of Ratnagiri in Maharashtra, it is dense, entirely fibreless, and almost custard-like, with an apricot-honey richness and an aroma that fills a room before the box is open. It carries a GI tag for a reason.
At Keri In Windsor, a box of 12 premium Alphonso mangoes is $50 CAD, delivered free across Windsor–Essex. Peak season: April to June.
2. Kesar — the best value, and the best for pulp
Kesar, the "Queen of Mangoes", is named for the saffron colour of its flesh. It's honey-sweet with a warm spiced note, smooth and juicy, and it holds its character better than any other variety in aamras, lassi, kulfi and desserts.
For most families it's the smarter buy: slightly gentler on price, and it goes further. A box of 12 premium Kesar mangoes is $45 CAD. Peak season: May to early July.
3. Banganpalli — the underrated slicer
From Andhra Pradesh, Banganpalli is big, golden, and bright rather than heavy — crisp, juicy and almost fibre-free. It's the one to eat sliced on a hot afternoon, or to put in salads and juices. Available by request during the season.
What about grocery-store mangoes in Windsor?
The Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo mangoes in Windsor supermarkets are a different product entirely. They're bred to survive weeks of shipping and cold storage, and chilling a mango before it ripens permanently damages its flavour — which is why store fruit so often tastes flat or sour no matter how long you wait on the counter.
That's not snobbery, it's just physiology. Real Indian varieties are harvested at maturity, air-freighted during the season, and never cold-stored.

Quick answers
- What is the best Indian mango to buy in Windsor?
- Alphonso from Ratnagiri is widely considered the best Indian mango — rich, creamy and fibreless — and is available in Windsor for $50 CAD per box of 12 from Keri In Windsor. Kesar is the best value and the best choice for aamras and desserts, at $45 CAD per box of 12.
- Are Indian mangoes better than grocery store mangoes?
- Yes, noticeably. Grocery-store varieties are picked green and cold-stored for weeks, which permanently damages flavour. Indian Kesar and Alphonso mangoes are harvested at maturity and air-freighted during the season, so they ripen properly on your counter.
