We grow three Sindhi varieties across one long summer. Here is how to recognise each one — by season, shape, skin, and the way it eats.
Large and oblong with smooth, even golden skin. Fibreless, honey-sweet flesh and a small, thin stone. Earliest of the three.
Rounder and plumper, golden with a faint blush. Very soft, juicy and intensely sweet with a strong aroma. The mid-season fruit.
Firmer and more balanced, less sugary than Chaunsa. A late Sindhi variety that closes the harvest.

Sindhri arrives first, in May. Chaunsa follows through mid-summer, and Sohnaro closes the season in late July and August. The month narrows it down fast.
A long, tapering fruit is almost always Sindhri. A rounder, plumper mango is Chaunsa. Sohnaro sits between the two — even and oval.
Chaunsa gives softly and feels juicy under the skin. Sindhri stays firmer even when ripe. Sohnaro is the firmest and most structured of the three.
A strong, heady scent points to Chaunsa. A finer, floral aroma is Sindhri. A mild, quiet nose is Sohnaro.
