Neelum is a South Indian dessert mango. The fruit weigh 9 to 12 oz. They are smooth-skinned and bright yellow upon ripening and have no blush. The flesh is deep yellow or orange. There is no fiber and a rich, aromatic flavor. Neelum is best eaten out-of-hand, or used as slices or cubes in mixed fruit salads, as the firm flesh holds its shape. They have a late ripening season and can be stored for a long time. For the best taste fruit should be harvested when mature green and ripened at room temperature. Neelum is a small tree perfect for the home gardener or pot culture. See more info about Mango varieties.
