Origin and orchard
A pocket-sized mango with cult status. The Anwar Ratol is dense, aromatic, and almost custard-like, eaten whole, skin peeled back like a clementine. Limited harvest, limited weeks.
PakMango.Com sources Anwar Ratol from Ratol Bagh, run by Sheikh Anwar's grandsons. The orchard sits on mixed sand and silt, cholistan edge at 88m above sea level. The original Anwar Ratol mother tree was planted in 1928 by Sheikh Anwar-ul-Haq. Today's orchard is a direct graft lineage, kept deliberately small, fewer than 600 trees, all hand-pollinated.

How to eat Anwar Ratol
Most cartons arrive at, or close to, eating ripeness. If a mango is still firm, leave it on the counter at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours; it will develop freckles, give slightly to thumb pressure at the stem end and release a strong aroma. Refrigerate only once fully ripe.
