Senthoora Mango

Senthoora is the most celebrated mango variety from Salem, Tamil Nadu. It is known for its striking reddish-pink blush, dense sweet flesh, and minimal fibre. Named after the Tamil word for vermillion, Senthoora is considered the finest mango grown in the Salem region and is among the most sought-after varieties in South India.

Senthoora is one of the sweetest mango varieties grown in India. It has a rich, deep sweetness with dense, almost fibre-free flesh. Unlike many varieties that are tangy, Senthoora is purely sweet with a smooth, creamy texture.

Senthoora mangoes are in season from April to June. The peak of the season — when flavour is at its best — is typically May. At NativeRoots, we harvest weekly and ship Monday–Saturday from each freshly ripened batch, so you receive mangoes at peak ripeness.

Not right now. The mango season is over and orders are closed. Orders reopen with the next harvest — our season runs April – June. Follow @nativeroots.store on Instagram for the reopening date.

Salem's mango season runs April – June, and flavour is usually at its best in May. We harvest weekly through the season and ship only fresh fruit — we do not keep mangoes in cold storage to sell out of season.

Never. We ripen all our mangoes naturally in paddy hay (the traditional South Indian method) for 2–3 days after harvest. Calcium carbide — used by many traders to artificially speed up ripening — is never used at NativeRoots. Natural ripening develops the full flavour and aroma that artificial methods cannot replicate.

Our farm is located in Panaimadal, near Puthiragoundampalayam, in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu, India (pincode 636117). Salem is one of the most celebrated mango-growing regions in India, known especially for the Senthoora variety.
