Langra is the most misunderstood mango — people see its green skin and think it is unripe. It is not. Perfectly ripe Langra has sweet, refreshing flesh with a pleasant tartness that makes it the ideal mango for hot summer days. It is also the most affordable premium variety and great for families.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Langra stay green when ripe?
Langra's skin naturally stays green even when fully ripe — it is a genetic trait of the variety, not a sign of under-ripeness. Judge ripeness by softness (gentle press gives slightly) and aroma, not color. This confuses many buyers, but inside a ripe Langra is sweet golden flesh.
Is Anwar Ratol really better than Langra?
It depends on your preference. Anwar Ratol is more complex and aromatic — most connoisseurs rank it higher. But Langra's sweet-tart balance and lower price make it many people's everyday favourite. Both are exceptional varieties grown on our Multan orchards.
Why is Anwar Ratol more expensive than Langra?
Anwar Ratol trees yield fewer mangoes per tree than Langra, and the variety's small size means farmers need more trees to fill a box. Its premium reputation also commands a higher market price. At MMA Farms, Anwar Ratol 5 kg is Rs. 2,950 vs Rs. 2,550 for Langra.
Can I get both Langra and Anwar Ratol in the same order?
Yes — both season together in June. Contact us on WhatsApp to arrange a mixed order of both varieties in the same delivery.
Which variety has more fiber — Langra or Anwar Ratol?
Langra has very low fiber — smooth and creamy with minimal strings. Anwar Ratol is also minimal fiber. Both are far less fibrous than common market mangoes. Neither variety will leave strings between your teeth.
