Gir Kesar

Gir Kesar mangoes were granted a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2011, which recognizes them as a unique product of the Gir region of Gujarat.

Difference between Kesar, Gir Kesar (GI tagged Mango) and Kutch Kesar Mango

Kesar, Gir Kesar, and Kutch Kesar are all different types of mangoes, but they share some similarities. All three varieties are known for their distinct aroma and taste. However, there are some differences between them. Kesar mangoes are mainly grown in Gujarat, while Gir Kesar and Kutch Kesar mangoes are grown in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. Gir Kesar is a GI tagged mango, which means it has a unique identity, origin, and quality that is distinct from other mango varieties. Kutch Kesar mangoes, on the other hand, are known for their bright yellow color, juicy pulp, and sweet taste.
