The Totapuri mango, or Ginimoothi, is a cultivar that is widely grown in south India and is partially cultivated in Sri Lanka.{{cite book|author=Niir Board|title=Cultivation of Fruits, Vegetables and Floriculture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SuZq660BWtoC&pg=PA181|date=1 October 2004|publisher=National Institute Of Industrial Re|isbn=978-81-86623-75-6|page=181}} It also goes by the names Bangalore, Collector, Kallamai, Kili Mooku, Gilli, Mukku, "Ottu", and Sandersha. In Bengaluru it is referred to as Ginimoothi Maavina Kayi,{{Cite web|url=http://jyothisimplifiescooking.blogspot.in/2015/04/mavinakayi-tokku.html|title=Mavinakayi Tokku/Mango Thokku}} while most of the rest of India calls it Totapuri or Bangalora. It literally translates to parrot face (gini = parrot, muthi = beak). Totapuri mango skin lacks the usual bitter taste of most mango skins or has a very slight bitterness and is consumed with the flesh traditionally.
History
Totapuri was imported to Florida in 1901 as Sandersha and in the 1960s as Totapuri. It is the parent of at least two Florida mango cultivars, Anderson and Brooks.{{cite book|author=Richard E.
