Dasheri

Dasheri mango was first grafted in the 18th century by Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari{{Cite web |title=Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari: The Father of Dasheri Mango |url=https://getfarms.in/abdul-hameed-khan-kandhari-dasheri-mangos-father |website=GetFarms |access-date=2 June 2025}} in his "Hamidiya" plant nursery. He used a seedling from a mango tree that resembled the Dasheri variety in appearance but differed in taste. This original tree was located in the gardens of the Nawab of Dasheri village. When Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari, the zamindar of Malihabad, learned about the tree, he requested permission from the owner to take its saplings. He conducted extensive research and, using his deep knowledge, grafted it with another plant to create a new variety of mango, which he named after the village—Dasheri.

Since then, Dasheri mango plants have been cultivated and planted across India. The mother plant, from which the original Dasheri variety was developed, still exists in Dasheri village near Kakori, Lucknow. The first orchard of Dasheri mangoes was established in Allupur, Malihabad, and the legacy of Abdul Hameed Khan Kandhari continues to be preserved by the Kandhari Pathans of Malihabad. The mother plant is believed to be over 300 years old.

This mango has the ability to get the attention. Its flavor and aroma are unmatched.{{Cite web |last=Kaushik |first=Rohit |date=2023-02-08 |title=Dasheri Mango- Health Benefits, Uses and Important Facts |url=https://www.potsandpans.in/blogs/articles/dasheri-mango-health-benefits-uses-and-important-facts |access-date=2024-05-23 |website=PotsandPans India}}
