The Kari Ishad mango is grown in Ankola taluk of Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka.
It is accepted as one of the finest quality mangoes due to its unique aroma, luscious taste, high amount of pulp, shape, and size.
They are large and oblique to oval shape. Each panicle usually bears one fruit. A well-grown tree produces/bears up to 2,000 fruits in a season. The fruit has a short shelf life of about five days.
It has two variants — Kari Ishad, which has thin skin, more pulp and is sweeter, and Bili Ishad, which has thick skin and less pulp and sweetness
