Our mangoes are air-flown directly from orchards in India to the United States. They arrive in Texas within 4-5 days of harvest, ensuring maximum freshness. Each shipment is carefully packaged in export-grade boxes designed to protect the fruit during air transit.

Yes, every shipment passes rigorous USDA phytosanitary inspection at the port of entry. All mangoes also undergo FDA-compliant Cobalt-60 gamma irradiation (per 7 CFR 305) as required for Indian mango imports. This process is a legal requirement and ensures the fruit is safe for consumption.

A ripe mango will feel slightly soft when gently pressed (like a ripe avocado), give off a sweet fruity aroma near the stem, and show a deeper golden-yellow color. Do not judge ripeness by color alone, as some varieties stay green even when ripe. Visit our Mango Care Guide for variety-specific ripening tips.

Keep unripe mangoes at room temperature (70-75 F) in a paper bag or newspaper until they ripen, which usually takes 2-4 days. Once ripe, move them to the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for the best flavor. See our Mango Care Guide for detailed storage instructions.

Mangoes are harvested at peak maturity but before they are fully ripe, which is standard practice for exported Indian mangoes. This ensures they survive air transit without bruising. They will ripen naturally at room temperature within 2-4 days after you receive them.

No, you should never refrigerate unripe mangoes. Cold temperatures halt the ripening process and can damage the fruit texture and flavor. Always let mangoes ripen completely at room temperature first, then refrigerate only after they are fully ripe to extend freshness by 2-3 days.

If you receive mangoes that are visibly damaged, bruised, or spoiled upon pickup, please notify your pickup agent immediately and take a photo. Contact us through WhatsApp or email within 24 hours of pickup, and we will arrange a replacement or credit for affected boxes.

Our mangoes are sourced from trusted orchards in India that follow responsible farming practices. While they may not carry a USDA organic certification, they are premium export-grade fruit selected for quality, taste, and safety. All shipments pass USDA inspection before entering the United States.

Irradiation is a USDA and FDA-approved food safety process that uses Cobalt-60 gamma rays to eliminate pests and pathogens from imported fruit. It is required by law (7 CFR 305) for all Indian mangoes entering the US. The process does not make the fruit radioactive and is endorsed by the WHO, FDA, and USDA as safe for consumers.
