Among India’s most cherished mango varieties, the Cheruku Rasalu Mango—affectionately called Cheruku Rasam—holds a special place in the hearts of fruit lovers. Originating from Andhra Pradesh, this mango embodies the very spirit of summer with its divine aroma, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and sugarcane-like sweetness. The name itself speaks of its nature: “Cheruku” means sugarcane and “Rasalu” refers to juiciness, beautifully reflecting its naturally rich flavor.
At Exotica Grove, we celebrate this mango not just as a fruit, but as a legacy — a connection to India’s cultural roots and its deep reverence for nature’s finest produce.
