இமாம் பசந்த் மாம்பழம்
The rarest variety we grow — exceptional sweetness, delicate texture, unique fragrance.
Imam Pasand — known in Andhra Pradesh as Himayat, and historically as Nazir Pasand — is widely regarded as the king of South Indian mangoes. Large, oblong, and a beautiful pale golden yellow when ripe, it has an exceptionally sweet flavour with a delicate, smooth, completely fibre-free flesh. The natural fragrance is unlike any other variety — intensely aromatic and lingering. At NativeRoots, Imam Pasand is our rarest offering. We have only a small number of mature trees, and the harvest is strictly limited each season. Every Imam Pasand mango is hand-selected, individually wrapped, and sent in small batches to ensure perfect condition on arrival.
While Imam Pasand is most commonly associated with Andhra Pradesh, Salem-grown specimens benefit from the district's red soil and dry climate, which concentrate the fruit's natural sugars and develop the characteristic fragrance to its fullest expression.
Imam Pasand — also known as Himayat or Nazir Pasand — is considered the finest mango variety in South India. It is large, oblong, and pale golden when ripe, with exceptionally sweet, smooth, completely fibre-free flesh and a unique lingering fragrance. It is regarded as a premium and rare mango variety.
“I have eaten Imam Pasand (Himayat) in Hyderabad many times, but the Salem-grown version from NativeRoots has a distinct character — the fragrance is more pronounced and the flesh is completely fibre-free in a way I have not experienced before. Ordered as a gift and received very appreciative feedback. Will order every season.”
“Imam Pasand is almost impossible to find in Mumbai. A friend recommended NativeRoots and I ordered a 3 kg box. It arrived in 2 days, perfectly packed. The mangoes were large, smooth, fibre-free — completely different class from anything I've eaten before. The natural fragrance is extraordinary. Worth every rupee.”
“Exceptional quality. You can tell immediately these are naturally ripened — no chemical smell, just pure mango fragrance. My wife and I have made it a tradition to order Imam Pasand from NativeRoots every June. At this price for farm-direct quality, it is completely unbeatable.”
Every box of Imam Pasand Mango is packed by hand on the farm in Salem, dispatched the same week as harvest, and shipped by air courier. Whether you are in Chennai or Hyderabad, you receive mangoes at their peak — never cold-stored, never carbide-treated.

NativeRoots is a family-run mango farm in Panaimadal, Salem district, Tamil Nadu (PIN 636117). We grow Senthoora, Totapuri, Rumani, and Imam Pasand on land that has been farmed for generations. Every mango is hand-picked at maturity and ripened in paddy hay — the traditional South Indian method that produces the full, natural flavour that artificial ripening can never replicate.
Salem is the mango capital of Tamil Nadu. The district's red laterite soil is mineral-rich, and the climate — warm, dry summers and moderate humidity — creates ideal growing conditions. Salem-grown mangoes, especially Senthoora, are sought after across South India for their intensity of flavour that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
