Bite On This - Aam!

Born in India millennia ago, cherished by kings and commoners alike, the aam makes Indian summers bearable, even pleasant. Did you know that the poet Mirza Ghalib ate at least ten to twelve mangoes each time? Or that he considered a dislike of the fruit so ridiculous as to term the offender a ‘donkey’?

Well, that's true!

In this episode, we hear from Shree Kishan Suman, a farmer from Rajasthan's Kota district. He has developed the Sadabahar mango, a variety that flowers three times a year! You'll also hear from Maharashtra’s Ravi Marshetwar who grafted a mango tree that gives 51 varieties of mangoes!

Don't believe this? Hear from them in this episode!
