Chaunsa

Chaunsa (Urdu: چونسا ; Bhojpuri: चउसा Hindi: चौंसा), also known as chausa, is a mango cultivar indigenous to South Asia.

[1][2] The main centers of chaunsa cultivation are the states of Bihar & Uttar Pradesh in India and Rahim Yar Khan and Multan in Pakistani province of Punjab.

The chaunsa variety of mango was made popular by the Indian ruler Sher Shah Suri while commemorating his victory over Humayun at Chausa, Bihar.

Some consider it the best mango in terms of its rich aroma, sweet taste, juicy pulp and high nutritional value.

Prior to its availability in the U.S., some American chaunsa aficionados would travel to Canada in order to legally purchase the mango.
