Mango and Honey Exhibition - Trivandrum
A unique fest organized by kerala’s agriculture department is going on in trivandrum. I think this is for the first time this one of a kind festival is being organized in the state which showcases different types and varieties of mangos. The fest is going on in Chandra sekharan nair stadium. I am truly amazed by the diversity of mangoes. More than 160 varieties of mangoes are there. Each and every mango species is different in some way or the other. The mangoes differs in attributes like size, smell, taste, amount of fiber content, place of origin etc.
The second section of fest features different mouth watering varieties of food products prepared with mango like mango pickles, mango in honey, mango halwa, cake made out of mango, pastry made out of mango. More varities are mangos are displayed in the second section of the fest along with information center by farm information bureau,a kerala government department
In the third section stall and information center is arranged which tells more about honey and honey production. This stall will be interesting one for those who want to know more about on how pure honey is made and take look at different type of nests for honey bees. Some equipments are being showcased which are used to extract natural honey. Along with the information center for honey bee breeding and making honey a stall is organized which sells natural honey with quality sign of agmark. I have bought a small pouch of honey costing 5 rupees.
On the exit of mango festival venue, a stall is there where we can purchase about 10 varieties of mangos. The mangos are avialble from 30 rupees a kilo gram to 100 rupeees a kilogram. I have bought half a kilogram of alphonso variety. It cost me about 50 rupees. The mango is a tasty one having a light yellowish color with some green patches. Some where I have read that alphonso mango is the king of mangos. Is it true.
