The Totapuri mango, also known as Collector Mango, is easily recognized by its unique parrot-beak shape.
It is one of the most widely cultivated varieties in South India, especially in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, and is commonly used for juices, pulp, pickles, and salads because of its tangy-sweet flavor.
