Dudhkalmi

Dudhkalmi (also sometimes transliterated as Doodhkalmi) is a variety of mango primarily found in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, particularly in parts of India and Pakistan. The name "Dudhkalmi" roughly translates to "milk pen" or "milk graft" in some local languages, potentially referencing the fruit's milky-white sap or the grafting techniques used in its cultivation.

This mango variety is known for its distinct taste, aroma, and relatively short season. Dudhkalmi mangoes are typically medium-sized and have a slightly elongated shape. The skin color can vary from greenish-yellow to a more vibrant yellow when ripe. The pulp is usually a deep yellow-orange color and is known for its sweetness and rich flavor. Many connoisseurs consider it to be one of the finer varieties of mango available, especially in regions where it is grown.

Availability of Dudhkalmi mangoes is generally limited to a few weeks during the peak mango season, contributing to its relatively higher market price compared to more common varieties. Its seasonal nature and delicate taste make it a highly sought-after fruit. Specific details about its origin and agricultural practices may vary depending on the specific region.
