East Indian is a mango from Jamaica, likely derived from Rasalu-type mangos brought from South India in the 19th century.
The fruit is medium-sized, oblong, and green at maturity, developing pinkish to orange blush with sun exposure. The flesh is highly fibrous and best suited for juicing or processing, though its richly sweet, resinous, and complex flavor—with pronounced spice notes and turpenes—makes it prized by those who appreciate traditional West Indian mango flavors. The seed is polyembryonic.
The trees are low-to-moderate in vigor with a spreading, open canopy and respond well to pruning. Flowering can be irregular, and fruit set may be affected by fungal issues in humid conditions. East Indian is an early-season mango, ripening primarily from May through June, making it one of the first mangos available in the season. Its unique flavor profile and cultural significance make it highly sought after despite its challenging cultivation requirements.
