How to tell real Khirsapat from lookalikes

The GI problem

Every June, markets flood with "Khirsapat" that never saw Kansat soil. Here is how graders tell the difference.

1. The shoulder

Real Khirsapat has a rounded shoulder with no beak...

2. The skin

Thin, smooth, with a faint wax bloom...

3. Aroma at the stem

Honey and a hint of turpentine — never sharp...

4. The cut test

Fiberless flesh, apricot color, seed under 12% of weight...

5. The paper trail

Ask for the orchard lot number. Every Chapai Mango crate carries one.
