Black Chaunsa Mango
Black Chaunsa is the more intensely aromatic cousin of White Chaunsa. Its name comes from the distinctive dark brown-to-black patches on the skin when ripe. The flesh is deep golden-orange, butter-smooth, and packed with a complex flavor that is richer and more intense than White Chaunsa. Many Multan locals actually prefer Black Chaunsa for its deeper, more concentrated taste.

Fun Fact
Black Chaunsa gets its dark patches from a natural concentration of anthocyanins in the skin — the same compounds that make blueberries purple. These are powerful antioxidants.
