FAQs
Which is sweeter — Sindhri or Anwar Ratol?
Sindhri at Brix 22-24 is technically the sweetest commercial mango in the world. Anwar Ratol is just behind at Brix 20-22. Both are exceptional — most palates can't distinguish above Brix 20.
Why is Anwar Ratol so small?
It's genetic. Anwar Ratol fruits stay 150-250g by variety — not under-ripening. The small size concentrates flavor compounds, which is why connoisseurs prize it despite the size.
Which lasts longer in the fridge?
Both keep 5-7 days at 12-15°C. Anwar Ratol's thicker skin gives a slight edge for shipping durability over Sindhri's thinner skin.
