# Senthoora Mango (சிந்தூர மாம்பழம்)

The most celebrated Salem mango — rich sweetness, striking colour.

Senthoora mangoes are grown exclusively in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu and are renowned across South India for their deep sweetness, striking reddish-pink blush, and dense, almost fibre-free flesh. The name "Senthoora" comes from the Tamil word for vermillion — a nod to its distinctive colour. Salem's unique red laterite soil, warm days, and cool nights create the ideal conditions for Senthoora to develop its signature flavour. At NativeRoots, our Senthoora trees are over a decade old. Each mango is hand-picked at the right stage of maturity, then ripened naturally in paddy hay for 2–3 days — the traditional method that intensifies sweetness without any chemicals.

## Why Salem

No other region produces Senthoora with the same intensity of flavour.
