Jeerige Appe Midi

Discover the taste of Karnataka's forest heritage in every bite. Jeerige Appe Midi Pickle is a beloved traditional pickle made from Jeerige Midi — a rare wild variety of tender baby mango prized for its naturally occurring cumin-like (jeera) aroma and tang. These small tender mangoes carry a distinctive taste that resembles jeera/cumin seeds, and paired with a spicy masala, they make an extraordinary pickle.

The Jeerige Midi mangoes are grown in the wild rainforest areas of the Western Ghats, where the tropical climate and rich soil give them a unique taste and texture. Unlike regular mango pickles, this variety is used solely for pickling and never eaten as a fruit — making it truly one of a kind.
